Control of blood pressure and cholesterol are key steps in the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases, especially for diabetes patients. The following are effective methods: Control of blood pressure:
Healthy diet:
Reduction in salt intake, not exceeding 6 grams per day. Increase in potassium-rich foods such as bananas, potatoes, spinach and tomatoes. Limiting intake of processed and high-fat foods. Using the DASH diet (stopping high blood pressure diet), emphasis is placed on vegetables, fruit, whole grain, low-fat dairy products and nuts.
Regular campaigns:
At least 150 minutes aerobics per week or 75 minutes aerobics. Join force training at least two days a week.
Weight management:
Weight reduction, especially abdominal fat.
Restriction of drinking:
Men do not drink more than two cups a day and women do not.
Stop smoking:
Smoking can damage the vascular wall and increase blood pressure.
Pressure reduction:
Stress management using relaxation techniques such as deep breath, meditation or yoga.
Drug treatment:
If lifestyle changes are not sufficient to control blood pressure, pressure-relief drugs such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, calcium route retardants, urea or beta-delayants may be required. Control of cholesterol:
Healthy diet:
Reduce ingestion of saturated and trans-fat. Increase foods with soluble fibres such as oats, beans, apples, pears, carrots and beans. Ingestion of foods rich in moga-3 fat acid, such as deep sea fish, linen seeds and walnuts.
Weight management:
Maintaining healthy weight through healthy diet and regular exercise.
Regular campaigns:
Aerobics are regularly carried out, such as walking, running, swimming or cycling.
Stop smoking:
Smoking reduces the levels of high-density protein (good cholesterol).
Drug treatment:
If dietary and lifestyle changes are not sufficient to control cholesterol levels, medications such as carbaric acids, cholesterol complexants, fibro acid derivatives or sootic acid may be required.
Before any medication is administered, a doctor or a medical professional should be consulted to ensure that the treatment is appropriate to your personal health condition and to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and its potential side effects. Regular examination of blood pressure and cholesterol levels is also an important part of monitoring and control of these risk factors.
