How does hypertensive patient control weight?

 Obesity is closely related to hypertension, which can be one of the causes of hypertension. Weight loss of obese people can reduce blood pressure, relieve headache, edema, proteinuria, dyspnea and other symptoms. Therefore, we should fully understand the harm of overweight and obesity, consciously cooperate with doctors, and effectively control weight.

The main way to lose weight is to control diet and increase physical activity. Some studies have pointed out that reducing 418.63kj calorie diet or consuming 418.63kj extra calories through physical exercise can control the development of obesity and achieve the goal of gradually losing weight.

How to control diet? Generally speaking, it is not necessary to control the amount of three meals a day for mildly obese people, but they should avoid extra food intake, such as snacks, candy and sugary drinks. At the same time, they should pay attention to increasing the intensity of labor and sports, so as to reduce the weight of 0.5-1kg per month until they return to normal. In addition to using low calorie food as far as possible, they should also greatly reduce the amount of food, starting from reducing the staple food by 100-150g per day, and starting from reducing the staple food by 150-250g per day for those with large amount of food. High fat and high sugar diet should be restricted, and then adjusted according to their weight and other reactions. Secondly, we should control potatoes, fat meat, and fatty dried fruits and oilseeds, and eat more low calorie foods such as vegetables and fruits, which can not only reduce hunger, but also provide sufficient inorganic salts and vitamins.

In the process of diet control, it is necessary to step by step and avoid rushing for success. Otherwise, malnutrition, dizziness and weakness of limbs will occur, resulting in reduced physical activity. It will not only fail to achieve the goal of weight loss, but also increase weight. Therefore, the intake of high-quality protein should be appropriately increased when reducing staple food, so as to increase calorie consumption and improve weight loss effect.

If you stop controlling your diet after losing weight, your weight will soon return to its original level, even fatter. At the same time, we should also adhere to long-term sports and physical labor, so as to receive better weight loss effect.
