This on your finger is more likely to cause high blood pressure

Hypertension is a major cause of death in modern times. One-third of adults worldwide suffer from hypertension, and more than 9.4 million people die from it each year. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of disability and death. From this we can see the harm of high blood pressure. So how can we know if we are at risk of developing high blood pressure? The answer is from our hands.

1. Small pimples appear on the back of the hand

If there are small white papules or pimples like chickenpox on the hands, sometimes these pimples will appear light yellow, which is more or less caused by high cholesterol. So why is it said that if there are such pimples on the hands, there will be a risk of high blood pressure?

Cholesterol exists in every part of the human body, but it is most abundant in the liver and skin. Therefore, high cholesterol levels will manifest as unusual bumps on the skin. This generally indicates that the blood concentration is relatively high. High blood concentration and high cholesterol content will easily form blood clots, causing blood vessels to become thinner. If the human body wants to maintain normal blood circulation, the heart must increase the pressure on the blood, thereby forming high blood pressure. This is why people with high blood pressure often also suffer from high blood lipids.

At the same time, yellowing of the fingertips and calf cramps are also signs of high cholesterol.

Therefore, if the above symptoms occur, you should pay attention and be careful of high blood pressure.

Tips: When the above symptoms appear, it is necessary to lower cholesterol in time. Diet is one aspect, but more importantly, it is necessary to drink more water and exercise to reduce blood viscosity and accelerate blood circulation, so as to prevent the occurrence of high blood pressure.

2. More flesh on the hands

Some people are born with fleshy hands, but we won’t talk about that for now. It is difficult for ordinary people to suddenly have more flesh on their hands. If they do have more flesh, it means that they are obese to a certain extent.

Obesity has many dangers. First of all, it can lead to high blood lipids. As mentioned above, high blood lipids can easily cause high blood pressure.

Secondly, the total blood volume in obese people increases. In order to supply the body with the blood it needs, the heart must increase pressure so that the blood output can meet the body's needs. Therefore, it is easy to cause high blood pressure, which is why obese people are often accompanied by high blood pressure.

Another thing is that obese people often don’t like to exercise, which can slow down blood flow and accelerate the formation of blood clots, making them more likely to develop high blood pressure.

Tips: If you find that your hands are fat, or if you feel that you are obese, you should control your diet in time and exercise more to lose weight, so as to avoid excessive obesity, high blood pressure, and even death.

3. Deep yellow between the index and middle fingers of the hand

When it comes to the area between the index finger and the middle finger, do you think of smoking? Yes, it is smoking. Having too much cigarette on hand can easily lead to high blood pressure.

First of all, the nicotine in cigarettes will stimulate the adrenal glands to produce large amounts of catecholamines (norepinephrine or dopamine). Catecholamines are used as emergency drugs, which can speed up the heartbeat, increase the contraction force, and increase the heart's blood flow. Therefore, catecholamines are generally used as emergency drugs. However, catecholamines can normally increase the heart's contractility, causing high blood pressure and leading to hypertension. This is why doctors do not recommend smoking for people with high blood pressure.

Secondly, nicotine and carbon monoxide in oxygen will affect the metabolism of human blood lipids, increase the cholesterol content in the blood, lead to increased blood lipids, and easily cause high blood pressure.

Therefore, people who smoke frequently are also a potential group of people with high blood pressure.

Tips: You should quit smoking as early as possible. You should not wait until you develop high blood pressure to quit smoking. By then, it will feel like you are trying to close the fold too late, and the effect will not be very obvious.

4. Many vertical lines on nails

Normal people's nails are generally hard and pink in color, without spots or bumps. However, when a large number of vertical lines appear on the nails, it indicates that the body is dehydrated, which can cause dryness and high blood pressure.

First of all, lack of water causes the viscosity of the semen to increase, which can easily cause high blood lipids, lead to blood clots, and increase the pressure of the heart's blood supply, which can easily lead to high blood pressure.

Secondly, the drying up of blood indicates that the human body consumes too little water, and the calcium and magnesium ions in the water cannot participate in the function of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels, causing the blood vessels to spasm and become hard. Leading to elevated blood levels. In fact, the appearance of vertical lines on the nails will not only cause high blood pressure, but also cause many harms to the body, such as itchy skin, spots on the face and so on.

Tips: Once vertical lines appear on your nails, you should learn how to replenish water scientifically. Hard water can provide more calcium and magnesium ions and increase the function of smooth muscle.

5. Too much work on hand

In fact, the content to be discussed below has little to do with the hands. People who work a lot are prone to mental stress, and mental stress is also a factor that leads to high blood pressure.

Office workers are under great mental pressure from work, which causes their brains to be in a state of tension, anxiety and excitement for a long time. This leads to confusion in the mental system, the adrenal glands secrete adrenaline (catecholamines), adrenaline stimulates heart contraction, functional blood supply pressure increases, and high blood pressure occurs. At the same time, people who are under great mental stress are more easily excited by external stimuli, which leads to high blood pressure.

Therefore, heavy workload and high pressure are also causes of high blood pressure, so everyone who works at work is a potential patient with high blood pressure.

Tips: Moderate relaxation is necessary for work. It not only keeps your body healthy, but also helps you work better.

Conclusion: Although high blood pressure is a major killer of human death today, it can still be avoided as long as we learn to observe and take preventive measures. Cholesterol, blood lipid concentration, obesity, smoking, mental stress, etc. are all potential factors that cause high blood pressure. These factors can be seen through the hands, so looking at the hands is also a way to prevent disease. In addition, sodium ions are a major factor causing high blood pressure, so you can choose potassium salt instead of sodium salt.
