코골이가 혈압과도 상관있다니 첨 알았어요 나이 들수록 혈압도 신경써야 하는데 잘 보고 참고할께요 ^^
"Lower blood pressure without medication"... 'Adopt these habits' to significantly reduce blood pressure
Power walking attempt=
Hypertensive patients experience a decrease in blood pressure of nearly 8 mmHg to 6 mmHg when walking quickly. Exercise helps the heart use oxygen more efficiently, making it less strenuous to pump blood. Exercise is one of the best ways to stop hypertension and maintain a healthy heart. Engaging in vigorous aerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes a day, at least five days a week, can lower blood pressure. It is also beneficial to increase speed or distance to continue training the heart.
Switching to decaffeinated coffee
According to a study by Duke University Medical Center in the United States, consuming 500mg of caffeine, such as drinking three cups of coffee a day, increased blood pressure by 4mmHg. This was found to raise blood pressure until just before sleep. Caffeine can constrict blood vessels and raise blood pressure. Stress also pumps more blood through the heart, increasing blood pressure, and consuming caffeine during this time can exacerbate the effect. Therefore, if you are concerned about blood pressure, it is better to drink decaffeinated coffee rather than regular coffee.
Let's get off the desk.
Sedentary living can be fatal to health in the long run. According to a study by the University of California, Irvine, working more than 41 hours a week while sitting increases the risk of hypertension by 15%. Even if you have a heavy workload, it is advisable to take short breaks to do stretching or walking exercises.
Eliminating Snoring=
If you are still neglecting snoring, pay attention. Snoring can also raise blood pressure. Snoring, which disrupts sleep at night, is one of the main symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). According to a research team from the University of Alabama, many sleep apnea patients have high levels of the hormone aldosterone, which can increase blood pressure. There is also a prior study indicating that half of sleep apnea patients have hypertension.
If you have sleep apnea, it is common to experience multiple brief episodes of breathing cessation during sleep. Even if you have high blood pressure, sleep apnea could be the cause, so it is recommended to visit a hospital for an examination.
Being close to the person you love
Researchers from the University of Arizona in the United States conducted a study with 102 participants, finding that those who are physically closer to their romantic partners tend to have lower blood pressure. When asked to think of their partner, individuals with romantic partners also showed lower blood pressure, although not as low as those who were actually with their partner. This study measured instantaneous blood pressure, which differs from hypertension, but it revealed a pattern consistent with the idea that close relationships with intimate partners and close family members can improve health outcomes.
