Hypertension is a disease closely related to lifestyle. Changing your own bad habits and adopting a healthy lifestyle can effectively prevent the occurrence of high blood pressure. 1. Quit smoking and limit alcohol Smoking can increase blood pressure and increase heart rate, and smoking a cigarette can sometimes increase blood pressure by 25 mmHg. Nicotine acts on the vascular movement center, and at the same time increases the secretion of adrenaline, causing small arteries to contract. Long-term heavy smoking can cause continuous contraction of small arteries and over time the arterial wall degeneration, hardening, and narrowing of the lumen, resulting in persistent hypertension. 2. Limit salt Studies have shown that salt intake is positively correlated with the incidence of hypertension. People with lifelong low sodium have almost no hypertension.
