Hypertension usually has few symptoms. Various symptoms, such as pain, appear only after progression to vascular diseases such as heart disease (angina pectoris-myocardial infarction) and stroke (cerebral infarction-cerebral hemorrhage). The biggest risk factor for this vascular disease is high blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, you must be nervous and manage it well to prevent more dangerous vascular disease. What kind of lifestyle would be good?
Life-threatening myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction… The most dangerous cause is high blood pressure
Hypertension among the risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes, obesity) that cause vascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction, which can endanger life and leave significant side effects such as paralysis, in the latest issue of the international journal ‘New England Journal of Medicine’ A paper by a German research team has been published stating that this is the most dangerous. This is the result of a massive study using health data from 1.5 million people around the world.
As a result of the analysis, among several risk factors, the risk ratio of hypertension and hyperlipidemia was the highest. Hypertension had the highest risk of cardiovascular disease when systolic blood pressure, which is the highest blood pressure, was high, and was more harmful in the age group of 40 to 50 than in those aged 80 or older. Hyperlipidemia had a significant relationship with overall mortality, and a very high blood cholesterol level increased the risk of death. Hypertension can progress silently over decades and lead to fatal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
Controlling blood pressure is so important… 34% are not receiving treatment
Blood pressure control and smoking cessation are essential to prevent life-threatening myocardial infarction and stroke. Hypertension is the number one cause of death worldwide, followed by smoking and hyperglycemia (data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Hypertension is when the blood pressure measured after rest is 140/90 mmHg or higher. Normal blood pressure is when both systolic and diastolic blood pressures are less than 120 mmHg and 80 mmHg. Only two-thirds of hypertensive patients are aware that they have high blood pressure, and only 66% of them are being treated.
What is the worst lifestyle for blood pressure control? Pork belly with lots of salt, smoking and alcohol
Hypertension is called the ‘silent killer’. However, the cure rate is low. When eating samgyeopsal, put plenty of salt on it and add a spoonful of salt before tasting seolleongtang. I smoke a cigarette to go outside in between dinner parties. It is a bad action that constricts blood vessels even more. To control blood pressure, it is good to consume less than 6 g of salt per day. Since kimchi and namul side dishes are already salted, soup foods should be moderated. Limiting drinking to less than 2 drinks a day and quitting smoking are very important. A good lifestyle has a clear effect on lowering blood pressure.
Blood pressure rises after menopause in women… There are more patients over the age of 65 than male patients.
In menopausal women, blood pressure tends to rise as female hormones (estrogen) disappear, narrowing blood vessels. Women over the age of 65 have more high blood pressure than men. As a result, the number of strokes (cerebral infarction-cerebral hemorrhage) increases significantly, and the number of patients with vascular dementia increases as a side effect. You need to manage your blood pressure by regularly eating vegetables and fruits that are high in potassium to release salty substances (sodium). Diabetes and obesity also raise blood pressure. Reducing your intake of high calorie-animal fats is helpful.
How to lower blood pressure?… Healthy eating, aerobic + strength training
Healthy eating habits, exercise, smoking cessation, sobriety, etc. lower blood pressure, so people with ‘cautionary blood pressure’ and ‘pre-hypertension’ should be active. Patients who are already taking medicines can reduce side effects by reducing the dose and number of medicines taken and maximizing the effectiveness of medicines. Aerobic exercise, such as walking for at least 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, and strength training 2-3 times a week are good. Strength training that lifts heavy equipment requires giving the muscles time to rest.
