Top 6 Proven Strategies for Daily High Blood Pressure Management

-
  Introduction Managing high blood pressure is crucial for maintaining long-term health, especially for those at risk of heart disease. Here, we explore six vital daily practices that can significantly influence your blood pressure levels. 1. Eliminate Smoking Smoking increases blood pressure temporarily, and habitual smoking can lead to sustained hypertension. Avoid all forms of tobacco, including smokeless products, to reduce health risks and manage blood pressure more effectively. 2. Maintain a Healthy Weight Being overweight often correlates with higher blood pressure. Shedding even a moderate amount of weight can have a significant impact on your blood pressure levels. Aim for a balanced diet and regular physical activity for gradual and sustainable weight loss. 3. Adopt a Heart-Healthy Diet A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, fish, whole grains, and low-fat dairy can help lower blood pressure. Limit salt intake, as it's a known contributor to hypertension. Consider the DAS...

PLoS Med: metabolic surgery helps to treat hypertension

-

 September 17, 2020 / BIOON / - - metabolic surgery, such as gastric bypass grafting and gastric sleeve surgery, not only effectively treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, but also benefit obese patients with high blood pressure, according to a new study led by Erik Stenberg of erebro University, and can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and death. The results were published in the recent journal PLoS Medicine.



Hypertension, especially when combined with morbid obesity, is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Metabolic surgery has been shown to reduce the risk of many diseases commonly associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and sleep apnea, but it is not clear whether surgery is also effective in treating hypertension. To assess whether metabolic surgery is beneficial for obese and hypertensive patients, the researchers compared two groups of people with these diseases: one group had metabolic surgery, while the control group did not. Individuals in these groups were matched by age, gender, and location, and the researchers took into account other factors, such as other health conditions and educational levels. The metabolic surgery group had a lower risk of "major adverse cardiovascular events" such as stroke, heart attack or cardiac arrest, and a lower risk of death from any cause. Overall, 3.2% of the surgical group had severe adverse cardiovascular events, compared with 4.5% in the control group.

This new study shows that metabolic surgery is effective in treating hypertension in individuals with BMI ≥ 35kg / m2. Metabolic surgery may not be a global solution for the prevalence of obesity, but because these related diseases cause so many deaths and diseases around the world, it should be considered as an effective choice for the treatment of obese and hypertensive patients.

dangerous moments of high blood pressure

Core clew: patients with high blood pressure because long-term blood pressure is bigger, the blood vessels in the spasticity, so that blood vessel elasticity decreased, and the brittleness increases, if at this time due to some reason contributing to increased blood pressure suddenly, is easy to cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral vascular rupture and causing this for patients with high blood pressure, is undoubtedly the most fatal blow. Therefore, patients with hypertension should try to avoid a sudden rise in blood pressure, especially under the following circumstances, should be more cautious. Due to the long-term pressure on blood vessels, blood vessels are in a spasm state in patients with hypertension, resulting in decreased vascular elasticity and increased brittleness. If blood pressure rises suddenly due to some reason at this time, it is easy to cause cerebral vascular rupture and cerebral hemorrhage, which is undoubtedly the most fatal blow for patients with hypertension. Therefor...
