降低血壓的三種方法

High blood pressure cannot be cured, but it can be managed. In some cases high blood pressure is genetic, therefore out of your control. In other cases high blood pressure can be due to an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise and stress.

我們不能治癒高血壓，但可對其進行管控。一些情況下，高血壓是遺傳性的，因此不受控制。其它情況下，高血壓是由不健康飲食，缺乏鍛鍊和感到壓力造成的。

If you have high blood pressure and you choose to ignore the affects, you are putting yourself at serious health risks. High blood pressure causes damage to your circulatory system and is one of the major causes of a heart attack and stroke. You are also at high risk for kidney damage, and peripheral artery disease.

如果你有高血壓，但卻選擇忽視它的影響，那就會使自己陷於嚴重的健康危機中。高血壓會損壞人體循環系統，同時也是心臟病和中風的主要原因之一。你的肝臟也很有可能受到損傷，還很有可能患上外周動脈疾病。

So you are currently living with high blood pressure…. it’s okay, you can manage it. Make sure you keep your doctor appointments, follow your healthcare provider’s advice and try these 3 Ways to lower your blood pressure.

現在你患有高血壓——沒事兒，你是可以掌控的。要確保與醫生預約看病，聽從醫療保健提供者的建議，並嘗試以下的3種方式降低血壓。

Exercise

鍛鍊

Exercise is an all-natural way to help lower and control your blood pressure. According to Mayo Clinic, “Regular physical activity makes your heart stronger. A stronger heart can pump more blood with less effort. If your heart can work less to pump, the force on your arteries decreases, lowering your blood pressure.” Try adding exercise in your daily routine whenever you have time.

鍛鍊是幫助降低和控制血壓的純天然方法。據梅奧診所人員所述，“定期的身體運動能使心臟更加強壯。一顆更強的心臟可以更少力的供給更多的血液。如果你的心臟可以更少力的進行供血，那麼動脈上的力就可以減少，從而降低血壓。”只要有時間，就把鍛鍊添加到日常計劃中吧。

Eat Healthy

健康飲食

If you have high blood pressure, it is important to eat a healthy diet. Cut down on your salt intake, eat fruits, vegetables and avoid fatty foods. Choose to eat lean meats or fish, and bake or grill your foods instead of frying them. *Tip: Eat spinach, sunflower seeds, bananas and beans to help fight and prevent high blood pressure.

如果你有高血壓，那麼飲食健康十分重要。減少鹽的攝入，多吃水果、蔬菜，不要吃油膩食物。可以吃瘦肉或魚，可以烘焙或烘烤食物，但不要油炸。建議：吃菠菜、葵花籽、香蕉和豆類有利於治療和預防高血壓。

Reduce Stress

減輕壓力

Have you been feeling stressed? This may be why your blood pressure is so high. Stress causes your heart rate to go up and you’re breathing to become faster, leading to an increase in blood pressure. It’s important to think about the things that make you stressed out, and then work on eliminating the stressors from your life.

你一直都感到有壓力嗎？這也許是你得高血壓的原因。壓力會使你的心跳速度變快，呼吸急促，從而導致血壓升高。思考到底是什麼讓你感到壓力是很重要的，之後就可以努力消除生活中的壓力了。
