The impact of temperature on blood pressure

Temperature is an uncontrollable factor and it is also a factor that will cause certain changes in the human body. For example, for some patients with hypertension, their blood pressure may become abnormal due to changes in temperature. If you want to completely avoid this problem, you need to control your blood pressure and regulate your body in time. Here are some physical conditioning methods for high blood pressure!

1. Get more sun and exercise moderately

Before nine o'clock in the morning in winter, the sunlight contains a lot of infrared rays, which are good for the skin. Older people who like morning exercises can go out for exercise after eight o'clock, because there will be no early morning chill at this time, and the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors will not be too large, so that the blood vessels of the elderly will not excessively dilate and contract due to the large temperature difference, resulting in high blood pressure, leading to cardiovascular accidents.

In addition, sun exposure can increase the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the body. Sunbathe for about an hour every day, and avoid direct contact of the sun with your skin; exercise for the elderly should follow the principle of moderation, and they can choose to practice gentle exercises such as Ba Duan Jin and Tai Chi.

2. Control your diet and keep it moderately salty

The weather is cold in winter, and people often like to eat some spicy food to keep warm. Pickles are an indispensable dish on the table. Fried foods and hot pot are even more popular. The elderly should especially avoid these because these foods will affect a person's weight, blood lipids, and blood sugar. The disorder of these indicators will increase the physical burden of the elderly, making blood pressure difficult to control and accelerating the development of arteriosclerosis. Therefore, in daily life, we must pay great attention to controlling the intake of salt and oil, and generally choose vegetable oils, coarse grains, and soy products for consumption.

In addition, you should also pay attention to eating more fish and less meat. Fish is the first choice for all hypertensive patients. Epidemiological surveys have found that people who eat fish once a week have a significantly lower mortality rate from heart disease than those who do not eat fish.

3. Relaxed mood, optimistic and cheerful

Sleep quality, anxiety and depression often have a significant negative effect on the blood pressure of the elderly. A person's blood pressure fluctuates, and it rises and falls with physical or mental activities. It is lowest at three or four o'clock in the morning during sleep, rises slowly at six in the morning, and is highest from ten o'clock in the morning to noon. Good sleep quality and optimistic mood play a very positive role in blood pressure control, so we must learn to face things in life with a positive and optimistic attitude, avoid emotional ups and downs, and a cheerful attitude is also very helpful for sleep. Some people have negative emotions that affect their sleep quality, leading to unstable blood pressure, and then they become anxious because of high blood pressure, forming a vicious circle. Even if they increase the dosage and type of antihypertensive drugs, their blood pressure is still not easy to lower to normal.
