In middle age, male friends are not only the backbone of their work, but also the backbone of their family. Therefore, the pressure is also relatively high. Under the influence of pressure, the body inevitably cannot bear it, and various physiological mechanisms begin to decline with age. Immune and endocrine functions gradually decline, and the functions of internal organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys are also unconsciously weakened. In addition, busy work and high pressure are also factors that can lead to a decline Due to various factors such as limited exercise time, modern men are often troubled by the "three highs" of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia.
A large number of survey results indicate that dietary structure has an important impact on the occurrence and development of hypertension and stroke. Excessive sodium salt, excessive alcohol consumption, and excessive intake of fat in the diet can all lead to an increase in blood pressure. Other studies have shown that people who have a habit of staying up late frequently are more likely to suffer from hypertension and even stroke. The increased secretion of catecholamines in the human body can easily cause vasoconstriction, elevated blood pressure, and increased cardiac load. Obese individuals are 2-4 times more likely to develop hypertension than normal weight individuals, and obese hypertensive patients are more likely to develop coronary heart disease than normal weight hypertensive patients. In addition, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can both lead to high blood pressure. The harmful substances in the smoke can damage the intima of arteries, cause atherosclerosis, and stimulate the sympathetic nerve to cause arterioles to contract, so that blood pressure rises. The more alcohol consumption, the higher the blood pressure level. Long term heavy drinking can also cause stubborn hypertension.
