Hypertension alert! 6 blood pressure-raising foods are blacklisted. Avoid them even if you crave them to prevent the risk of cerebral hemorrhage!

In this fast-paced era, high blood pressure seems to have become the "invisible companion" of modern life, quietly affecting the health of countless people. Did you know that once the "tiger" of high blood pressure gets out of control, the fatal crisis of cerebral hemorrhage may come at any time. What is more worrying is that many hypertensive patients are enjoying delicious food without realizing that there are several "invisible bombs" on the table, which are gradually increasing your risk of cerebral hemorrhage!

So, what are these "invisible bombs"? Let us unveil them together and sound the alarm for patients with hypertension!

The dining table "blacklist" of patients with hypertension

1. Pickled Food

Pickled foods such as kimchi, salted fish, and bacon are popular for their unique flavor, but they contain a lot of salt (sodium chloride), which is extremely harmful to patients with hypertension. Excessive intake of pickled foods will lead to excessive salt in the body, increase blood sodium levels, increase blood vessel permeability, aggravate vascular sclerosis, increase blood pressure levels, and increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.

2. High-fat foods

Fatty meat, animal offal, and fried foods are rich in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, which are the two main culprits of vascular sclerosis. When blood vessels become hardened and become more fragile, they are more likely to rupture and bleed under the pressure of blood circulation. Therefore, patients with hypertension should strictly limit their fat intake.

3. Baked goods

High-calorie baked foods such as bread, cakes, and biscuits contain a lot of oil, sugar, cream and other substances. If hypertensive patients consume too much, they will exceed the calorie standard, which will be converted into fat and deposited in the blood vessels, reducing vascular elasticity, narrowing the blood vessel lumen, and increasing the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.

4. Spicy Food

Capsaicin in spicy food can stimulate vasodilation, increase sympathetic nerve excitability, and speed up heart rate. Frequent consumption of such food will cause repeated increases in blood pressure, damage blood vessels, and increase the risk of rupture and bleeding.

5. Sugary drinks and sweets

Excessive intake of sugar from sugary drinks and sweets such as cola, cream, and cakes can damage vascular endothelial cells, stimulate vasoconstriction, and lead to increased blood pressure, burying the hidden danger of cerebral hemorrhage. At the same time, the trans fatty acids in these foods can also increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

6. High-purine foods

Patients with hypertension often have elevated uric acid levels and should eat less or no high-purine foods such as seafood and animal offal to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys and affecting blood pressure control.

In addition, patients with hypertension should avoid excessive drinking and smoking. Alcohol can increase blood pressure and cause blood pressure fluctuations, increasing the risk of cerebral hemorrhage, while nicotine reduces the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs and increases blood pressure.

How can patients with hypertension maintain their health and prevent cerebral hemorrhage?

1. Good diet and living habits : limit salt intake to 2-5 grams per day, ensure adequate water intake, eat a light diet, quit smoking and avoid drinking. Eat more fruits rich in potassium and vitamin C, such as apples, dragon fruit, bananas, etc.

In addition, you should pay attention to proper rest and exercise. Moderate-intensity exercise such as jogging, walking, and Tai Chi is particularly beneficial for patients with hypertension, among which walking is the best form of exercise. However, it should be noted that the temperature is low in winter, so avoid going out for exercise in the morning and evening when the temperature is low.

2. Avoid inducing factors : Keep a happy mood and stable emotions, and avoid factors that may induce cerebral hemorrhage, such as emotional excitement, excitement, and straining during bowel movements.

3. Monitor blood pressure regularly : Take medication on time and in the prescribed amount for a long time according to the doctor's advice, and monitor blood pressure regularly to avoid blood pressure fluctuations. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention in time.

In addition, friends with high blood pressure should be reminded that in addition to diet, medication, and exercise, mentality is also very important in controlling blood pressure.

In the modern fast-paced life, people work long hours and at high intensity. Many people work long hours and at high intensity, using 996 or even 007 work modes, which leads to mental stress and frequent staying up late, causing hypertension to occur at a younger age.

Therefore, learning to abandon a sub-healthy lifestyle and engaging in self-psychological counseling and catharsis is crucial to preventing hypertension and cerebral hemorrhage!
