Important: hypertension is the most important PreventiveThe cause of heart disease and vascular accidents on the world Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to a heart attack, an increase in the heart and, ultimately, heart failure. Expansion (aneurysms) can develop in blood vessels and vulnerable places in which blood vessels are more likely to be obstructed and torn. Pressure in blood vessels can cause hemorrhage in the brain and the development of a stroke. Hypertension can also lead to kidney failure, blindness and cognitive impairment. Hypertension is called a "calm killer". Most patients with hypertension do not even suspect the problem, as hypertension often does not give anxiety signals and occurs asymptomatic. We invite everyone to use the medical program to assess the condition of your cardiovascular system and obtain advice from all the necessary specialists. Risk factors for the development of hypertension
Stress, mental and mental overwork
Studies show that hypertension more often, people fall into sick whose vital activity is associated with a constant nerve occurrence. Thus, for example, among residents of large megapités, hypertension is much more common than in people living in rural areas. Hypertension and stress are inextricably linked, so it is necessary to treat both diseases. Each fourth man and each fifth woman in the world, blood pressure increases Studies show that hypertension more often, people fall into sick whose vital activity is associated with a constant nerve occurrence. Thus, for example, among residents of large megapités, hypertension is much more common than in people living in rural areas.
Hypertension and stress are inextricably linked, so it is necessary to treat both diseases.Complications of hypertension are the cause of 9. 4 million annual cases of deaths worldwide (WHO) Hypodynamics
Hypodynamia is a reduction in the load on the muscles due to a sedentary lifestyle. A resident of the modern city is not engaged in physical workforce, prefers to use vehicles even at short distances, instead of walking, and spends free time in a computer or television. Only 1% is engaged in recreational sports and 5% make the gymnastics in the morning. Consequently, such a way of life leads to significant changes in all body support systems, especially cardiovascular and nervous. The combination of hypodynamia and stress makes a person extremely vulnerable to hypertension and its complications. Adrenaline, produced at the time of stress, stimulates the production of glucocorticoids which, in turn, stimulate the increase in blood sugar and the increase in blood pressure. In a immobilized organism, adrenaline and sugar instead of "burning" with energy release, remain in blood vessels for a long time and not only cause a long increase in pressure, but also heart attacks and strokes. Overweight
In order to determine whether there is an excess weight or not, they use the body mass index. It is calculated as the body weight ratio in kilograms to a square of growth in meters. If the result exceeds 25 kg / m² among young people and 27 kg / m² in the elderly, but does not exceed 30 kg / m², this means that there is an overweight. If the index indicator is greater than 30 kg / m², in this case, we are talking about clinically pronounced obesity. More than half of patients with hypertension suffer from obesity. Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease in which an accumulation of excessive quantities of fat in the adipose tissue is noted. Many scientific studies have proven that a decrease in excess fat from 5 to 10% leads to a decrease in increased blood pressure and an improvement in control over the disease. A loss of 5 kg of excess weight can help reduce the systolic blood pressure from 2 to 10 points. Other risk factors
An unhealthy diet - excessive consumption of salt, a large content of saturated fats and trans fats in food, insufficient consumption of vegetables and fruits. As well as the use of tobacco and alcohol. The increased risk factors that are not controlled include hereditary predisposition, age and concomitant diseases, such as diabetes or kidney disease. Highty prevention
Each adult must control their blood pressure. In the event of increased pressure, you should obtain a consultation with a doctor. Less than a fifth hypertension controls their condition People with high blood pressure, who also have high blood sugar, increased blood cholesterol or kidney problems are increased in the risk of heart attack and stroke. Therefore, it is important to regularly check the blood sugar levels, blood cholesterol and proteins in the urine. To minimize the risk of high blood pressure and its unwanted consequences, everyone can take a certain number of specific steps: Mental balance
The soul is good and the positive emotional state is essential conditions for maintaining health. This is particularly important for patients with hypertension or predisposed to its development, because the disease is directly linked to an inadequate reaction to stress. It is necessary to learn to manage stress in a healthy way such as meditation, various types of psychotherapy and positive social contacts. Specialists in the Cardiology Center: neurologists, psychotherapists, cardiologists will give full recommendations and will teach stress confronted. The walks in a fairy forest surrounding a sanatorium and outdoor activities will give you a good charge of vigor. Knowledge of local attractions will give you a spiritual balance. Physical activity
The second component of hypertension prevention is a sufficient motor activity, without which we all suffer from the manifestations of hypodynamia to various degrees. For a city resident, it will be optimal to walk daily at least 1 hour under the conditions of a forest park area. In the cardiological sanitary center, as part of the program, the balanced walking, mechanotherapy in the gymnasium, the Aquaérobie group in the swimming pool is organized as part of the program, and the city -based competitions take place. Patients with already showing disease should participate in physiotherapy exercises. It is necessary to join the rational work -study plan for work and rest. Any type of overwork should not be authorized, both mental and physical.
A healthy physiological dream is of great importance, in which the body is based on all loads. Patients at the initial hypertension stage should sleep at least 8 to 9 hours a day.Healthy food
In the prevention of hypertension, good nutrition or diet with clinically expressed forms of the disease is of great importance. Carbohydrates
Here, you should prefer vegetables and fruits, as this will allow you to receive a sufficient amount of fibers, vitamins and minerals. Squirrels
When you choose protein, you should refuse or limit meat products in favor of dairy and vegetables. Fat
Total fat intake must be reduced. Try to replace animal fats with vegetables, and among animal fats should be more fish. A drug for patients with hypertension can be a diet with a restriction on table salt. No more than 5 g (just under one teaspoon) are authorized per day, which considerably facilitates control of the level of blood pressure. Maintain a normal weight
The reduction in overweight or the treatment of obesity is the main factor which can cause satisfactory control of blood pressure and even in some cases, abandon the correction of drugs of the latter. An effective means of weight normalization is food therapy and various types of physical activity. Rejection of bad habits
If a person is subject to drinking alcohol in high doses, smokes, then the risk of hypertension increases several times. The reception of alcohol promotes spasms of the peripheral vessels and increased pressure due to the growth of vascular resistance. After smoking, the cholesterol level increases, which is due to the contribution of a large quantity of adrenaline and noradrenaline of the adrenal glands. There is even such a medical term - hypertension of nicotine. Physical methods for development prevention and hypertension exacerbations
Hydrotherapy
Aquatic water (hydrotherapy) is a powerful means of healing, prevention and treatment of hypertension. Water can affect the body as a temperature, a mechanical or chemical stimulus, and the choice depends on the need for a particular exposure factor. The temperature factor is the most important to choose hydrotherapy. The skin capillaries expand and narrow in response to the effects of water from various temperatures. In this case, there is either an increase in blood flow or its decrease. Cold water also slows down and increases heart contractions and increases blood pressure. Hot water reduces pressure, accelerates heart rate and weakens heart contractions Most often, to prevent exacerbations of hypertension, indifferent temperature water is used, which is indicated for excessive nerve excitability, irritability, heart problems, insomnia. Hydrotherapy procedures for Hypertension of Stage III are contraindicated. Before using water procedures as a treatment, you should consult a doctor. For hypertension of steps I-II, rain, dust and circular shower are used using indifferent or hot water with moderate pressure of water jets. Baths can be common and local, for hypertension, they are used for therapeutic and preventive purposes. Medicinal baths for hypertension are limited to the use of coniferous extract. Drug electrophoresis
This is the use of the galvanic current for non -invasive instatic administration purposes of various drugs. Under the influence of the galvanic current, the ions of drugs enter the skin and are delayed under the anode area, which creates a kind of medicinal deposit. The drug enters the blood circulation quite slowly, which increases the duration of its effect on the body. The body also affects the positive effects of the galvanic current. Electrophoresis is indicated at the initial stages of hypertension. At stadium III, it is contraindicated. Contraindications are neoplasms, acute inflammatory processes of any location, altered blood coagulation processes, pronounced atherosclerosis, decompensated diseases of the cardiovascular system, kidneys, pregnancy, individual intolerance in the galvanic current. Specialized centers use various types of physiotherapy under the control of specialists. Medical physical education (exercise therapy)
Media physical education is used at all stages of hypertension for prevention of hypertensive crises and complications of the disease. It includes all types of affordable physical exercises - dosed walking, morning gymnastics, earthy and swimming. "Physical exercises can replace many drugs, but not a single drug in the world cannot replace physical exercises" The best way to prevention is morning gymnastics or the load, which allows you to prepare the body for labor festival, stimulates the nervous regulation processes for blood circulation and the responsiveness of the vascular system as a whole. If the disease has already developed, you should add a daily therapeutic gymnastics complex to morning gymnastics. The centers carry out individual classes and in a group of physiotherapy exercises under the supervision of professional instructors of exercise therapy. Pharmacotherapy
The selection of drugs for the treatment and prevention of hypertension exacerbations should only be carried out by a doctor. Drug treatment already becomes necessary in the second stage of the disease, when blood pressure reaches significant indicators with a regular measure. The basic principle is individualSelection of antihypertensive drugs for each patient. Dear readers, the articles are in an introductory nature. Before applying recommendations, you should consult a doctor.
