It is better to drink the right water than to drink more water! Reminder: how to correctly drink water for patients with hypertension and control their blood pressure

Water is not only an effective medium to maintain the body's nutrient transport, but also an important participant in maintaining the metabolic level.

Therefore, the human body should supplement an appropriate amount of water every day, so as to meet their physiological needs. After suffering from high blood pressure, drinking water has become a very fastidious thing.

So for patients with hypertension, should be timely to understand how to correctly supplement water, in the end what kind of water can drink what kind of water can not drink?

1. Don't drink water that is too sweet or too salty

In daily life, we need to drink water to supplement the body's water. But some people think that drinking boiled water is too boring, so they try to make the water taste. At this time, some people will add salt in the water, and this habit is very unhealthy.

For patients with high blood pressure, be sure to avoid adding salt when drinking water. Otherwise, it will lead to excessive intake of sodium ions in the body, and then lead to large fluctuations in blood pressure.

In addition to salt control, patients with hypertension should not drink high sugar water. Some people think that boiled water has no taste, so they like to put some sugar in it. Although it's sweet, it's not conducive to control blood pressure. Therefore, when drinking water, patients with hypertension must not put salt or sugar in order to meet their taste needs.

2. Don't drink a lot of water at one time

For people with normal blood pressure, a large amount of water at one time will not cause serious problems, but if their own blood pressure level is relatively high, a large amount of drinking water at one time will increase blood volume, and then cause a large fluctuation of blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should keep the principle of a small amount of water for many times, usually put a thermos cup in their desk or backpack, and make up for water properly every day.

3. Don't use Alcoholic beverage instead of water

For some patients with high blood pressure, they usually like to drink, even if the doctor repeatedly told to quit drinking, also can not stop their thirst for alcohol. They even think that the degree of beer is not high, at the same time, they can supplement water, so they can drink beer instead of water. Although beer does contain a certain amount of water, drinking beer can play a corresponding water effect, but long-term excessive drinking will lead to vascular sclerosis, and then increase the probability of cardiovascular disease.

4. Reasonably control the amount of drinking water

For patients with hypertension and renal insufficiency, due to their own renal function can not fully play, so it is easy to make water metabolism affected, this time we need to timely adjust the amount of drinking water.

Especially those patients with oliguria and edema symptoms should control the amount of drinking water according to the doctor's advice.

In general, water is an important basis for the normal functioning of the human body, so we must make timely water supplement. For patients with hypertension, there are many things to pay attention to when drinking water. They should not drink too sweet or too salty water.
