When hypertension meets high temperature, how to control the stability of blood pressure?
High temperature weather has a great influence on human blood pressure. In high temperature weather, human skin blood vessels are easy to expand and sweat is increased, which may lead to a drop in blood pressure. But the mood, temperature, weather, diet, etc. in hot weather are more likely to lead to elevated blood pressure. In hot weather, if you want to control the stability of blood pressure, you need to pay attention to the following points.
light diet
patients with hypertension should follow the principle of less oil and less salt all year round, do not eat spicy and irritating food and avoid overeating. In principle, the daily intake of salt for hypertensive patients should not exceed 6 grams. In our daily life, we should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and appropriately increase high-quality protein food such as meat and beans.
Regular life and rest
In hot weather, it is always easy to affect the sleep of patients with hypertension. If you don't have a good rest, it will easily lead to blood pressure fluctuations. If hypertensive patients still have the habit of staying up late at this time, it is easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, patients with hypertension must develop good sleep habits, insist on going to bed early and getting up early, and maintain a regular life schedule.
Moderate exercise
Exercise is one of the best ways to improve hypertension. Exercise can improve heart rate and respiratory condition, and make the heart stronger. When the heart is strong, the speed of blood circulation will be accelerated, and blood pressure will be lowered. In hot weather, patients with hypertension should also keep exercising, at least 3 to 4 times a week for at least 4 minutes each time.
Replenish water
In hot weather, people sweat more and always feel thirsty. When the human body feels thirsty, it is actually in a state of high water shortage. Don't wait until you are thirsty before drinking water. Patients with hypertension must pay more attention to replenish water in their daily life, so as to avoid blood pressure fluctuation due to the decrease of the total amount of fluid in the body.
When high blood pressure meets hot weather, we should pay more attention to emotional problems. Don't become impetuous because of hot weather. Keeping a good attitude will help control the stability of blood pressure.
