Who has never heard a “my pressure went up” in the middle of a stressful day or after a heavy meal? Yeah, hypertension, also known as “high blood pressure”, is an old known to Brazilians – and one of the most treacherous.
Silent, she hits people of all ages and may be there, hidden, until something serious. And since World Hypertension Day is approaching (May 17), nothing better than talking about lightness with lightness, but with the seriousness that the theme deserves.
The disease is chronic and without healing, but the good news is that, with some simple changes in everyday life, you can live well with it-or even avoid it.
It is bound in these 5 practical care, indicated by neo chemistry, which help maintain pressure in the right place:
5 Simple care to prevent high blood pressure
1. Take care of your lifestyle
The modern routine is naturally accelerated. But slowing down is essential.
Sleeping well, finding ways to relieve stress and pauses on the day can greatly reduce the risks of pressure rise. Breathe deep (literally) and follow!
2. Reeduque your food
No need to become gourmet fitness overnight, but cutting the exaggerated salt, fried foods and sausages is already a huge beginning.
Bet on natural spices, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Your heart thanks you – and your taste buds adapt quickly.
3. Stir more
Walk, pedal, dance, swim… The important thing is to move!
Regular physical activity regulates the body, hormones and helps maintain pressure on track. And still improves the mood!
4. Goodbye, cigarette and excess alcohol
Smoking or thinking. And drink, only in moderation.
These two habits are enemies of the heart and can accelerate the appearance (or worsening) of hypertension, even in those who have a genetic tendency.
5. Keep an eye on diabetes
It sounds like another problem, but it’s not: high blood pressure and diabetes walk together, like that toxic couple.
One feeds the other and the two attack the cardiovascular system. Controlling blood sugar is essential to keeping pressure under control.
Preventing is the best medicine – and in this case it is also the cheapest, affordable and effective. Hypertension may even be common, but need not be normalized. Take care today to live better tomorrow!
