3 Ways Hypertension Patients Can Extend Their Life Span

EDITOR’S PICK: 

Living with hypertension, contrary to popular belief, is not a death sentence; in fact, it is among the least serious disorders known to man. A mix of good behaviors and well-planned diets will help you live a considerably longer and trouble-free life.

Well, in this article on EKO HOT BLOG we would be looking at ways hypertensive patients can extend their life span.

1. Limit your salt intake

A high sodium intake, such as that found in salt, is one of the leading causes of hypertension. To avoid blood pressure rises, physicians advise a daily salt consumption of approximately 12 teaspoon. You may also discuss your attempts to minimize your salt intake with your doctor, who will advise you about how to make the work easier.

2. Exercise more frequently

As a hypertension patient, don’t wait to join or enroll for a gym until you begin moving your body. While aerobic and resistance training are desirable, even a few minutes of walking (around 30 minutes) can help lower blood pressure. If this is your first time exercising, do it slowly and don’t rush.

3. Consume less calories

Obese persons are more likely to have high blood pressure. If you’ve been identified with hypertension, you should start paying attention to your nutrition. Reduce your calorie intake and avoid eating any unhealthy food you comes across.
