Why is high blood pressure, which used to be known as the disease of wealth, so common today?

From "rich" to "universal", it means that "wealth" has reached the position of "universal". The standard of living of the people has generally risen to the level of affluence.

In fact, the "disease of wealth" was first discovered by wealthy scholars and celebrities in the West, so it is called "disease of wealth", and it is not high blood pressure that is called "disease of wealth", but gout. From the 80s of the 20th century, the gout rate in Europe was only 1% of the total population in 95 years, and the Asian countries continued to rise, and in 1997 in Shanghai, China, hyperuricemia reached. Later, in China, these diseases closely related to lifestyle habits were called "wealth disease", such as the three highs.

Before the reform and opening up, most people had poor living conditions, and there was no way to solve the fundamental problem of food and clothing. In the post-reform and opening up years, many areas were not wealthy, but after 2,000 years, people's living standards have improved rapidly. Originally, when they saw obesity, they thought that people were rich and ate well, but slowly ordinary people began to eat as their living conditions became richer.

Slowly, people are going from not having enough to just having enough food and clothing to being rich, and the dietary structure has also changed dramatically. And this change is slowly accumulating in silence. Over time, people have formed a habit.

Hypertension has a great relationship with dietary factors, such as obesity, sodium, alcohol, lipids, potassium, calcium, dietary fiber, etc.

Sodium. There is a positive correlation between sodium and high blood pressure, and if you eat stewed salt, your blood pressure will increase. In the past, there was a lot of salt, but most of them were manual laborers, who consumed more, and a lot of salt was excreted with sweat and urine.

Corpulent. Modern people live in affluent conditions, and the proportion of protein and fat intake in the diet is also seriously exceeded, and the excessive intake of high-energy foods and high-fat foods often causes obesity, and the current obesity rate in China is increasing, and it is widely prevalent in the world. Weight loss and obesity avoidance in overweight patients are key strategies for the prevention and treatment of hypertension.

Fat. Epidemiology shows that even if you do not reduce the sodium in the diet and do not lose weight, if you can control the dietary fat, especially meat oil, fatty meat, etc., which accounts for less than 25% of the total energy, it can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 12% for 40 consecutive days, and 5% in women. You can make a comparison between the amount of oil you used to eat and the amount of meat you eat in a year, and you will be shocked.

Of course, there is also alcohol, life pressure, etc., so I won't talk about them one by one.

This change in the dietary structure has made obvious changes in people's bodies, and if you think about it, the landlords in the past did not have the lives of ordinary people now.

Because with the progress of the times and the improvement of living standards, there are still a lot of harmful substances in what we eat, which will cause our blood pressure to rise, so it is very common now.

Because people are living a good life now, many high-fat and high-fat foods are common in people's lives. And nowadays people lack exercise because of their work.

Because nowadays, people's lives are getting better and better, eating better and better, and they rarely exercise.

Hypertension is a common "disease of wealth" among modern people, with a high incidence among obese people, long-term drinkers, and middle-aged and elderly people. High blood pressure is a condition that requires long-term progress. In daily life, in addition to the control of drugs, the second is the improvement of life and diet.

Yam is a food that we often eat in our daily life. It is cheap, nutritious, and a very nutritious natural food. It is very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.

Not only is it easy to digest, but it also has the effect of nourishing the stomach. Eating yam regularly is also conducive to regulating blood pressure and preventing the "three highs".

Many people know that jujube can replenish blood and is a favorite dried fruit for women. As the saying goes, three dates a day, you never grow old. Jujube contains flavonoids and glucoside A, which can regulate the rise of blood pressure when consumed regularly, and is suitable for patients with high blood pressure.

When it comes to natural blood pressure medicine, moringa is essential. It is rich in trace elements that can control blood pressure. Normal people can prevent high blood pressure by eating it regularly.

Patients who already have high blood pressure can eat it to keep their blood pressure stable. At the same time, moringa can also help the liver flush out toxins, so you can have a healthy liver.

Tomato. Tomatoes contain a large amount of lycopene and other carotenoids, which have the effects of antioxidant, eliminating free radicals, and slowing down the formation of macrosclerosis in atherocaustia. Good for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

Tomatoes are the best for vitamin C, and this vitamin C is protected by organic acids, which is not easily destroyed after cooking and is easily absorbed by the body.
