Every summer, when the weather becomes sultry, we all become sleepy and weak. Especially the middle-aged and the elderly, are more likely to have such a situation. In fact, the big reason is that when we sweat, we take away the potassium element from our bodies, and the lack of potassium makes our heat resistance decline and makes us tired and weak. Remind middle-aged and elderly people that they often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, and their blood pressure is stable, which makes them feel comfortable and bitter in summer. Ordinary people can feel uncomfortable because of this, let alone people with hypertension. Because people with hypertension take antihypertensive drugs for a long time, their urination increases, and the loss of potassium will also accelerate, so they are more likely to be deficient in potassium than ordinary people. Therefore, it is suggested that middle-aged and elderly people often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, so that their blood pressure is stable and they can spend the bitter summer comfortably. Remind middle-aged and elderly people that they often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, and their blood pressure is stable, which makes them feel comfortable and bitter in summer. 1. Maojian green tea I believe that many tea lovers start with green tea, and Xinyang Maojian tea enjoys a great reputation among green tea. This kind of tea is green and slender in shape, rich in potassium and tea polyphenols. It is helpful for middle-aged and elderly people to drink it properly, and it is helpful to dilate blood vessels. And it tastes refreshing, which is very suitable for hot summer. Remind middle-aged and elderly people that they often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, and their blood pressure is stable, which makes them feel comfortable and bitter in summer. 2. Pomegranate scented tea Many people are unfamiliar with pomegranate scented tea, but in fact, among all teas, pomegranate scented tea has the highest potassium content. Every 100g pomegranate scented tea contains 2453mg potassium on average, which is very helpful to stabilize blood pressure. Not only can it be brewed into red for drinking, but it can also be served as a cold drink with ice cubes to cool off the summer heat. Remind middle-aged and elderly people that they often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, and their blood pressure is stable, which makes them feel comfortable and bitter in summer. 3. Jasmine tea For middle-aged and elderly people, it is more suitable to drink some mild and non-irritating tea, and jasmine tea is a very good choice. Jasmine tea is rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium, which can not only supplement certain nutrients, but also facilitate the expansion and contraction of blood vessels and promote the stability of blood pressure. When soaking jasmine, it is best to keep the water temperature at 85℃ for better taste. Remind middle-aged and elderly people that they often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, and their blood pressure is stable, which makes them feel comfortable and bitter in summer. As a chronic disease of hypertension, drinking tea only plays a slight auxiliary role. To stabilize blood pressure better, drinking tea alone is not enough, and it is also necessary to adhere to the method of diet+exercise, which is more conducive to stabilizing blood pressure. It is suggested that middle-aged and elderly people can do this: A reasonable diet Usually, you must eat less high-salt, high-fat, spicy and cold foods. These foods tend to increase blood vessel pressure, stimulate blood vessels and cause blood pressure to rise. You can eat more foods containing potassium and dietary fiber, such as celery, kelp, bananas, green leafy vegetables, etc., which are all good choices for stabilizing blood pressure. But for middle-aged and elderly people, the nutrition of food intake is far from enough. Because with the increase of age, the nutrition is gradually lost, and the digestive ability is not as good as before, so it is easy for the immunity to decline. At this time, it is necessary to add some nutrients to the blood vessels, which is more conducive to the stability of blood pressure. Remind middle-aged and elderly people that they often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, and their blood pressure is stable, which makes them feel comfortable and bitter in summer. Studies have proved that ginseng, scallop powder and Cordyceps militaris are very helpful to blood vessel stability: Tianbei powder contains Tianbei kinase, which can delay the aging of blood vessels and enhance the elasticity of blood vessels. Ginseng contains ginsenoside which can accelerate human metabolism and relieve the burden of blood vessels. Cordyceps militaris contains cordycepic acid which is helpful to enhance myocardial function and promote blood pressure regulation. [Pubei Shuangshu] has added the above ingredients, and additionally added natural ingredients such as Pueraria lobata, cassia seed, honeysuckle, etc., which is mild and non-irritating, and is very suitable for people with high blood pressure with low immunity. Taking 2 capsules a day can supplement nutrition well, and it also has a great effect on the stability of blood pressure, which is the "gospel" for people with hypertension. Remind middle-aged and elderly people that they often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, and their blood pressure is stable, which makes them feel comfortable and bitter in summer. Second, keep exercising. For people with hypertension, sedentary is also an important factor affecting the condition. If you don't exercise for a long time, it's easy to slow down blood circulation, which is very unfavorable for controlling blood pressure. It will also accelerate the aging of blood vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, we must do some jogging, brisk walking, cycling and other sports according to our physical fitness, which can not only make our physique better, but also help blood circulation, promote the stability of blood pressure and be very helpful to our health. It is recommended to exercise for 30 minutes at a time, at least four times a week. Remind middle-aged and elderly people that they often drink three kinds of "high-potassium tea" in summer, and their blood pressure is stable, which makes them feel comfortable and bitter in summer. Tip: As you get older, you should have regular physical examination to check your blood pressure. If there is an abnormal situation, we must not delay it. Instead, we should ask the doctor for help in time, which can avoid risks to the greatest extent and provide a layer of insurance for our health.
