How can white-collar workers prevent hypertension?

How can white-collar workers prevent hypertension? With the rapid development of society, the pressure from all aspects is increasing, such as family pressure, work pressure, life pressure and so on. The incidence of hypertension has gradually become younger. It is common to go out early and return late, stay up late and work overtime, smoke and wine, and socialize, which can easily 'attract' hypertension.

Eating fast food is inevitable. Try to choose light food

"As mentioned earlier, there are many risk factors for hypertension. First of all, it is recommended that patients change their lifestyle, whether they take drugs or not, which is the most basic and should be done, and psychological adjustment should be made from diet, exercise and psychological adjustment." Professor Qian Xiaoxian said that in terms of diet, don't eat too greasy and salty, low salt and low-fat diet. Fast food has more oil, the other is salty, and there will be less green vegetables, which are disadvantageous. Try not to eat too salty and fried, and choose some more vegetables.

It is now recommended to eat less than 6 grams of sodium salt per day, but the per capita salt intake in China is high. A survey shows that the average daily is 10-12 grams, which is lower for southerners than for northerners. According to our usual epidemiological survey, the prevalence of hypertension in Guangzhou is lower than that in Beijing.

In the past, many reports have said that eating more salt will lead to hypertension, but in recent years, it has also been reported that eating more salt does not necessarily lead to hypertension, but the probability is high. Why? Professor Qian Xiaoxian said: 'because more salt intake will lead to more recovery of sodium by the kidney, resulting in an increase in blood solubility. We know that the formation of blood pressure includes blood solubility, cardiac output and vascular tension. If there is a large amount of blood solubility, it will naturally lead to an increase in blood pressure. Of course, excessive sodium salt intake will activate some renin angiotensin system aldosterone in our body, and the activation of this system will also lead to high blood pressure. "

Use the computer for half an hour to rest for five minutes

Professor Qian Xiaoxian said that using the computer for a long time will cause mental tension. It is generally recommended to work in front of the computer for half an hour, stand up and walk or look into the distance and take a deep breath. These are good ways to relieve stress.

Exercise 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes each time

Professor Qian Xiaoxian mentioned that young friends should exercise properly. It's best to exercise three or more times a week for 30 minutes each time; In addition, there is self-regulation pressure, including work pressure, interpersonal pressure and so on.

Drinking tea can prevent cardiovascular disease

"Drinking tea has been a habit of the Chinese people since ancient times, and it has become a culture, and there are many benefits of drinking tea." Professor Qian Xiaoxian said that the benefits of drinking tea to human body mainly depend on the antioxidants contained in tea, such as flavonoids, which play a very important role in preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. A cup of tea contains about 150 ~ 200 mg of flavonoids, and the content of flavonoids in black tea and green tea is almost high. In terms of antioxidant effect, drinking two cups of tea a day is equivalent to eating five vegetables or two apples.
