How to treat high blood lipid and hypertension

summary

The occurrence and development of hypertension is closely related to hyperlipidemia. A large number of research data show that many patients with hypertension are accompanied with lipid metabolism disorder. The contents of cholesterol and triglyceride in blood are significantly higher than those in normal people, while the contents of high density lipoprotein and cholesterol are lower. On the other hand, many hyperlipidemia are often accompanied by hypertension, which is a causal relationship, but what is the cause and what is the result is still not very clear. Hypertension and hyperlipidemia are both important risk factors for coronary heart disease. When both exist, the incidence rate of coronary heart disease is far higher than that of one. Therefore, the two coexistence should be treated actively. So, how to deal with the coexistence of hyperlipidemia and hypertension

How to treat high blood lipid and hypertension

First, we should strengthen the management of life and diet, control calorie intake, and increase the amount of activity appropriately. If you eat too many calories, the excess calories will be stored in the body in the form of fat, which will increase blood lipids and blood pressure. Therefore, you should mainly limit fat. You should eat 200-250 grams of staple food every day. Instead of sweets, you can eat fish, bean products, poultry, vegetables, etc. appropriately. But you should not eat too much at every meal. You should not overeat and eat less at dinner. Eat foods rich in calcium and potassium, such as bananas, Porphyra, kelp, potatoes, bean products and mushrooms, to promote the excretion of sodium salt in the body, adjust the ratio of sodium and calcium in cells, reduce the tension of blood vessels, maintain the normal relaxation and contraction of arteries, and protect the heart.

Second: moderate exercise. Moderate exercise can effectively increase endogenous pyrogen, increase body heat, accelerate the decomposition of fat, sugar and protein in the body, help to wash away the deposits on the wall of blood vessels, and accelerate the decomposition of blood lipids, so as to prevent hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and delay the aging of various organs. Therefore, we should adhere to exercise, but the elderly should mainly walk, jog and play taijiquan instead of exercise Strenuous exercise.

Third: eat salt in moderation. According to reports, some scholars have found that hypertension is related to salt sensitivity, and some salt sensitive people have sodium pump gene mutation, which is dominant inheritance. This reveals the mystery of the world's more than 100 years of research on the prevalence of hypertension in areas where people eat more salt, but some people do not eat more salt. Therefore, salt reduction is very important for patients with salt sensitive hypertension, but not for patients with salt sensitive hypertension. Excessive salt reduction can affect the metabolism of sugar and fat. Generally, the daily amount of salt is less than 5g, which has no obvious effect on both.

matters needing attention

Clinical studies have shown that some antihypertensive drugs can have adverse effects on lipid metabolism, and thus become the accelerator of arteriosclerosis, such as diuretic antihypertensive drugs and β - receptor blockers. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and calcium antagonists also affect lipid metabolism. For patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, the best drugs are guazosin, urapidil and other A1 receptor blockers, which can not only reduce blood pressure, but also benefit lipid metabolism.
