Let's start by understanding the causes of high blood pressure.

Genetic factors:

　　About 75% of patients with essential hypertension have a genetic predisposition, and there is often a concentration of hypertensive patients in the same family. It is believed that essential hypertension is a polygenic disorder. It has been reported that patients with hypertension and those with a family history of hypertension and normal blood pressure have transmembrane electrolyte transport disorders, and there is a hormone-like substance in their serum that inhibits Na+/K+-ATPase activity, resulting in a decrease in the function of the sodium-potassium pump, which leads to an increase in the concentration of intracellular Na+ and Ca2+, an increase in the contraction of arterial SMCs, an increase in the density of adrenergic receptors, and an increase in vascular reactivity. density increases, and vascular reactivity is enhanced. All these contribute to the increase in arterial blood pressure. Recent studies have found that there may be 15 defects in the angiotensin (AGT) gene, with occasional defects seen in normotensive individuals, and hypertensive individuals having the same variant in all 3 specific sites on the AGT gene. A brother or sister with hypertension may acquire the same copy of the AGT gene from their parents. Hypertensive patients with this genetic defect have higher plasma angiotensinogen levels than controls.

　　Dietary Electrolytes:

　　In general, the average daily salt intake of the population, the percentage of elevated blood pressure or average blood pressure is higher than that of people with low salt intake, WHO in the prevention of hypertension measures recommended that the daily salt intake per person should be controlled to less than 5g. The results of a study on the relationship between electrolytes and blood pressure in 53 centers in 32 countries showed that the average value of urinary sodium in the Chinese population was 206 mmol/24h, which was 43 mmol/24h higher than that in other centers, and the ratio of urinary sodium/potassium was 6.7, which was more than twice that in other centers. The highest urinary sodium was found in Tianjin (242 mmol/24h). This is related to the high sodium and low potassium of the Chinese diet. Potassium promotes sodium excretion, and eating large amounts of vegetables increases potassium intake, potentially protecting arteries from the adverse effects of sodium. Calcium attenuates the antihypertensive effect of sodium, and the diet in China is generally low in calcium, which may exacerbate the sodium/potassium effect on blood pressure. Intervention studies that have increased dietary calcium intake have shown that the increase in calcium reduces blood pressure in some patients.

　　Overweight and obesity:

　　Body fat content is positively correlated with blood pressure levels. Body mass index (BMI) in the population is positively correlated with blood pressure levels, and for every 3 kg/m2 increase in BMI, the risk of developing hypertension over a 4-year period increases by 50% in men and 57% in women. A pooled analysis of the follow-up data of 240,000 adults in China showed that the risk of hypertension in those with a BMI ≥24 kg/m was 3 to 4 times higher than that of those with a normal weight. The distribution of body fat is also associated with the development of hypertension. The greater the accumulation of abdominal fat, the higher the blood pressure level. A waist circumference of ≥90 cm for men or ≥85 cm for women is more than four times the risk of developing hypertension as those with a normal waist circumference.

　　With China's socio-economic development and improvement of living standards, the proportion and number of overweight and obese people in the population have increased significantly. In the urban middle-aged population, the proportion of overweight people has reached 25%-30%. Overweight and obesity will become another important risk factor for the growth of hypertension prevalence in China.

　　Drinking:

　　Excessive alcohol consumption is a risk factor for the development of hypertension, and the prevalence of hypertension in the population increases with the amount of alcohol consumed. Although blood pressure decreases for a short period of time after a small amount of alcohol is consumed, long-term consumption of small amounts of alcohol can result in a mild increase in blood pressure; excessive consumption of alcohol can result in a significant increase in blood pressure. If the average daily consumption of alcohol > 3 standard cups (1 standard cup is equivalent to 12 grams of alcohol, about 360 grams of beer, or 100 grams of wine, or 30 grams of liquor), systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure increased by an average of 3.5 mmHg and 2.1 mmHg, and the increase in blood pressure increases with the increase in the amount of alcohol consumed.

　　In our country, there are many people who drink alcohol, and some male hypertensive patients have a long-term habit of drinking alcohol and drinking strong alcohol, so the effect of long-term excessive alcohol consumption on blood pressure and the occurrence of hypertension should be emphasized. Alcohol consumption also reduces the efficacy of antihypertensive treatment, and excessive alcohol consumption can induce acute cerebral hemorrhage or myocardial infarction.

　　Psychosocial Stress:

　　According to surveys, psychosocial stress is closely related to the development of hypertension. Stressful life events include: early death of parents, loss of love, widowhood, death of a family member in an automobile accident, invalidity, family breakup, and economic and political shocks. The prevalence of hypertension was higher in those who suffered from life event stimuli than in the control group. It is believed that psychosocial stress can alter hormonal balance in the body, thereby affecting all metabolic processes.

　　Renal factors:

　　Dysregulated secretion of antihypertensive lipids such as prostaglandins and antihypertensive neutral renal medullary lipids by renal medullary interstitial cells and dysfunction of sodium excretion may be associated with the development of hypertension.

　　Neuroendocrine factors:

　　It is generally accepted that increased excitability of sympathetic fibers in the fine arteries is an important neurological factor in the pathogenesis of the disease. However, there are two types of sympathetic postganglionic fibers:

　　1, vasoconstrictor fibers, the transmitter is neuropeptide Y (NPY) and norepinephrine.

　　2. Vasodilator fibers, the transmitters of which are calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and substance P. The blood pressure of these two types of fibers is increased when the former is stronger than the latter. These two fibers function imbalance, that is, the former function is stronger than the latter, only when it causes blood pressure rise. In recent years, the relationship between central neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, as well as various regulatory peptides, and hypertension has become a very active area of research. It has been reported that CGRP may inhibit the release of norepinephrine from the hypothalamus in rats, and in the periphery it may inhibit the release of norepinephrine when adrenal nerves are stimulated. The isolation of natriuretic peptides (types A, B and C) from mammalian heart and brain has been reported, revealing a family of natriuretic peptides in humans. Recently, new progress has been made in the study of the local renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The mouse renin gene (Ren-2 gene) was injected into rat oocytes via a microinjection device to form a transgenic rat germline, TGR (mREN2).27 This animal has extremely high blood pressure. Using Northern blot hybridization, it was demonstrated that the Ren-2 transgene is expressed in the adrenal glands, blood vessels, gastrointestinal and brain, and can be expressed in the thymus, reproductive system and kidney. Because of its expression in the vascular wall, it may increase angiotensin formation in blood vessels, resulting in hypertension and vascular SMC hypertrophy.

　　Caused by other diseases in the body:

　　This mainly refers to secondary hypertension, which is a concomitant disease of many conditions, so the chances of it occurring in the body in the event of chronic hepatitis, renal vascular disease, cerebrovascular lesions, and other such diseases are very high.

　　Blood Pressure Regulatory Mechanisms

　　A variety of factors can cause an increase in blood pressure, the heart's ability to pump blood is strengthened (e.g., increased contractility of the heart, etc.), resulting in an increase in the amount of blood pumped out per second, another factor is that the large arteries lose their normal elasticity and become stiff, so that when the heart pumps out blood, it cannot expand efficiently, and as a result, each heartbeat pumps blood through a narrower-than-normal space, resulting in an increase in pressure, and that is the reason that high blood pressure occurs more often in atherosclerosis This is the reason why high blood pressure occurs more often in older people with thickened and stiffened arterial walls. Due to hormonal stimulation in the nerves and blood, small arteries throughout the body can contract temporarily also causing an increase in blood pressure. The third factor that may lead to an increase in blood pressure is the increase in the volume of circulating fluids, which is commonly seen in renal disease where the kidneys are not able to adequately remove sodium and water from the body, and the volume of blood in the body is increased, leading to an increase in blood pressure.

　　Conversely, a drop in blood pressure can occur if the heart's ability to pump blood is limited, if blood vessels dilate, or if excessive body fluids are lost, factors that are largely regulated by changes in kidney function and the autonomic nervous system (the part of the nervous system that automatically regulates many of the body's functions).

　　Treatment of high blood pressure

I. General treatment

Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, keep enough sleep, participate in work, physical labor and physical exercise within the capacity. Pay attention to dietary regulation, low-salt, low animal fat diet is appropriate, and avoid cholesterol-rich foods. Obese people should control the amount of food and total calories, reduce weight appropriately, and do not smoke.

Taking a small amount of sedatives can reduce nervousness and some of the symptoms, you can choose: Valium, potassium bromide, phenobarbital, Librium and so on.

II. Antihypertensive drug therapy

The rational use of antihypertensive drugs according to the condition, so that the blood pressure is maintained at normal or near-normal level, to reduce symptoms, delay the progress of the disease, and prevent cerebrovascular accidents, heart failure and renal failure and other complications have a role to play. There are many types of antihypertensive drugs, each with its own characteristics, and there is a tendency towards long-acting preparations or dosage forms with long-lasting effects and fewer doses for the convenience of patients. Commonly used antihypertensive drugs are:

1 Diuretics and antihypertensive agents: hydrochlorothiazide, cyclopentylmethiazide, chlorothiazide, tachycardia and others.

2 CNS and sympathetic depressants: reserpine, hypotension, colistin hydrochloride.

3 Adrenergic receptor blockers: β-blockers such as cardiac glycosides, aminocardium, and medocardium; α-blockers such as phenylbenzamine, and α+β-blockers such as lupronium cardiac glycosides.

4 Enzyme inhibitors such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril and enalapril.

5 Calcium antagonists such as nifedipine and amlodipine.

6 Vasodilators such as hydralazine, perphenazine, prazosin, and quetiapine.

7 Ganglionic and postganglionic sympathetic depressants such as quetiapine and pentamidine tartrate.

8 5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonists such as ketanserin.

9 Compound preparations such as Compound Antihypertensive Tablets, Compound Robitussin Tablets, and Andahemapine Tablets.

The principles for the selection of antihypertensive drugs are: ① Application of antihypertensive drugs for the treatment of essential hypertension requires long-term medication. Therefore, it is preferable to use oral antihypertensive drugs (such as hydrochlorothiazide, lisdexamfetamine, compound antihypertensive tablets, etc.) as the basic antihypertensive drugs, and then use other antihypertensive drugs according to different stages of the disease. ② Use of antihypertensive drugs generally start with a small dose, gradually increase the dose, to achieve the purpose of lowering blood pressure, can be changed to the maintenance amount to consolidate the efficacy of the smallest possible amount of maintenance to reduce side effects. ③When using antihypertensive drugs that can cause obvious upright hypotension, it is advisable to explain to the patient that when getting up from sitting or lying down, the movement should be as slow as possible, especially when getting up to urinate at night, so as to avoid the sudden decrease of blood pressure causing fainting and accidents. ④ Slowly advancing type of patients in the first stage, the symptoms are not obvious, general treatment (including sedatives) can be effective, can not apply antihypertensive drugs, if necessary, with a small number of mild effect of antihypertensive drugs, such as diuretics, rosmarinic acid, or compound antihypertensive tablets can be. Patients in the second stage need to be treated with two or more antihypertensive drugs, such as rifampicin, hydralazine and diuretics or a combination of enzyme inhibitors, postganglionic sympathetic inhibitors, ganglionic blockers or adrenergic receptor blockers. Patients in the third stage need to be treated with drugs with strong antihypertensive effects such as postganglionic sympathetic inhibitors, ganglionic blockers, such as colistin hydrochloride and long-pressure determination. ⑤ Clinically, several antihypertensive drugs are often used in combination, the advantages of which are: the synergistic effect of the drugs can improve the therapeutic efficacy; several drugs work together, which can reduce the single dose of each drug; reduce the side effects of each drug, or make some of the side effects cancel each other out; and make the decline in blood pressure smoother. The most commonly used combination is diuretics and other antihypertensive drugs, diuretics can enhance the efficacy of a variety of antihypertensive drugs, but also reduce the side effects of edema; reserpine and hydralazine, β-blockers and minoxidil when used in combination, the respective slowing down and speeding up of the heart rate of the side effects of each cancel each other out. (6) Treatment measures for acute-onset hypertension are similar to those for slow-onset stage III. If the blood pressure does not fall, hibernation therapy can be considered; if renal failure occurs, antihypertensive drugs to choose methyldopa, hydralazine, minoxidil, colestipol, the drop in blood pressure should not be too significant, so as to avoid the reduction of renal blood flow aggravate renal failure. (7) For patients whose blood pressure has increased significantly for many years, it is not advisable to make the blood pressure drop too fast, too much, the patient is often unable to adapt to a lower or normal level of blood pressure and feel uncomfortable, and there is a result of insufficient blood supply to the brain, heart, kidney and cause cerebrovascular accidents, coronary artery thrombosis, renal insufficiency and other possibilities. When hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy occurs, emergency antihypertensive measures should be adopted.

In recent years, calcium antagonists are often used as the first choice of drugs, especially for those with coronary angina pectoris, conduction block, bradycardia is also very safe; enzyme inhibitors can also be used, which is better for those with poor cardiac function, and the above two drugs can be used at the same time for high blood pressure; β-blockers can be used for those with tachycardia, especially for those with high blood pressure after myocardial infarction, tachycardia, or premature beats, and may have the effect of preventing sudden death; for those whose persistent blood pressure does not fall easily, it is sometimes necessary to use the above three drugs at the same time, but should start with a small dose, and often follow up the blood pressure. There is the role of preventing sudden death; for persistent blood pressure is not easy to fall sometimes need the above three drugs applied at the same time, but should start from a small dose, and often follow up the blood pressure. Recent studies have proved that nifedipine and captopril have the effect of reversing the left ventricular hypertrophy caused by hypertension, so they are especially suitable for patients with hypertension combined with heart disease.

III. Rehabilitation

The combination of clinical treatment and rehabilitation medicine can better lower blood pressure, reduce symptoms and stabilize the efficacy of treatment, while reducing the amount of medication. Rehabilitation medicine also helps to improve cardiovascular function and lipid metabolism, prevent and control vascular sclerosis, and reduce cerebral, cardiac and renal complications. Rehabilitation medicine has two ways of action: functional adjustment and exercise. Specific methods are:

1 Qigong therapy: The main focus is on the work of relaxation and tranquillity, with the main points being "body relaxation, mind tranquillity, and qi sinking". Those who are in good physical condition can practise standing pile work, while those who are in poor condition can practise work in a seated position.

2 Tai Chi Chuan: low-intensity continuous movement, can expand the peripheral blood vessels, to the heart with mild exercise. Taijiquan movement in the quiet, requiring muscle relaxation, "gas sinking Dantian", similar to the role of qigong.

3 Walking: Walking in a good environment or at a normal speed for 15-30 minutes can help lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular and metabolic function.

4 Medical gymnastics: practice taijiquan difficult to teach to stretch and relax, with breathing gymnastics, can be used to simulate taijiquan movements, carried out in sections.

5 Massage or self-massage: Pressing and kneading the wind pool, sun and ear points, wiping the forehead and pinching the Neiguan, Shenmen, Hegu, and the foot Sanli can help lower blood pressure and eliminate symptoms.

6 Physiotherapy: Ion introduction of certain drugs, pulsed ultrashort wave or short wave therapy and magnetic therapy can be used as adjunctive therapy for sedation and hypotension.

IV. Rapid antihypertensive measures

Treatment of hypertensive crises and hypertensive encephalopathy requires rapid blood pressure lowering, which can be accomplished by intravenous or drip administration.

Precautions for Hypertensive Disease

Precautions for hypertension include the following (a) reasonable diet; (b) moderate exercise; (c) smoking cessation and alcohol restriction; (d) psychological balance; (e) self-management; and (f) regular medical consultation.

I. Reasonable diet

1. Importance of diet for hypertension: Food is the God of the people, and a reasonable diet can make you neither fat nor thin, and your cholesterol neither high nor low.

2. Dietary taboos for hypertensive patients:

① Carbohydrate foods:

Suitable foods - rice, porridge, noodles, pasta, kudzu, soup, taro, soft beans.

Foods to avoid - sweet potatoes (food that produces abdominal gas), dry beans, strongly flavored crackers.

② Protein foods - beef, lean pork, white meat fish, eggs, milk, dairy products (whipped cream, yeast milk, ice cream, cheese), soy products (tofu, natto, soy flour, oil tofu)

Foods to be avoided - fatty foods (beef, pork pate, pork ribs, whale, herring, tuna, etc., processed products (sausages))

③Fatty foods

Suitable foods - vegetable oil, a little cream, salad dressing

Foods to avoid - animal oil, raw lard, bacon, sardines in oil

④Vitamin and mineral foods

Suitable foods - vegetables (spinach, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, lily root, pumpkin, eggplant, cucumber) fruits (apples, oranges, pears, grapes, watermelon)

Seaweeds and mushrooms should be cooked before eating.

Foods to avoid - hard fibrous vegetables (burdock, bamboo shoots, beans)

Strongly stimulating vegetables (spiced vegetables, mange tout, mustard greens, scallions, mustard greens)

⑤ Other foods

Suitable foods - lightly flavored tea, yeast milk drink

Foods to avoid - spices (chili, curry powder)

Alcoholic beverages, salt-soaked food (ready-made vegetables, ready-made fish roe)

Sauces, coffee

3 Dietary habits to be observed by hypertensive patients

① First of all, we should control the energy intake, advocate eating compound sugar, such as starch, corn, less glucose, fructose and sucrose, this kind of sugar belongs to the monosaccharide, easy to cause blood lipid elevation.

② Limit the intake of fat. Cooking, the use of vegetable oil, you can eat more sea fish, sea fish contains unsaturated fatty acids, can make cholesterol oxidation, thereby reducing plasma cholesterol, but also prolong the platelet coagulation, inhibit thrombosis, to prevent stroke, but also contains a large number of linoleic acid, increase the elasticity of the microvessels, to prevent vascular rupture, to prevent hypertension complications have a certain effect.

③ Moderate intake of protein. The daily amount of protein for hypertensive patients is 1g per kilogram of body weight. Eating fish protein 2-3 times a week can improve the elasticity and permeability of blood vessels, increase urinary sodium discharge, thereby reducing blood pressure. If hypertension is combined with renal insufficiency, protein intake should be limited.

④ Eat foods rich in potassium and calcium but low in sodium, such as potatoes, eggplants, kelp, and lettuce. Foods high in calcium: milk, sour milk, shrimp. Eat less broth, because broth contains nitrogen leachate increase, can promote the body to increase uric acid, aggravate the burden on the heart, liver and kidneys.

⑤ Limit salt intake: Daily intake should be gradually reduced to less than 6g, i.e., after removing the rubber cushion from the cap of an ordinary beer, a flat cap of salt is about 6g. This amount refers to the amount of salt, including the total amount of sodium contained in cooking salt and other foods that are converted into table salt. Appropriate reduction of sodium intake can help lower blood pressure and reduce sodium and water retention in the body.

(6) More fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat no less than 8 fresh vegetables every day, fruit 2 to 4 two.

⑦ Increase seafood intake as appropriate: e.g. seaweed, nori, seafood fish, etc.

II. Moderate exercise

Importance of Exercise for High Blood Pressure: There is a saying, "When you are young, trade health for money; when you are old, trade exercise for health." Exercise not only promotes blood circulation and lowers cholesterol production, but also strengthens muscles, bones and joints stiffness occurs. Exercise can increase appetite, promote bowel movements, prevent constipation and improve sleep. Have the habit of continuous exercise: it is best to do aerobic exercise to help. Aerobic exercise can lower blood pressure as well as weight loss, such as walking, jogging, tai chi, cycling and swimming are all aerobic exercises.

1. Do's and don'ts of performing the exercise:

① Do not overdo it or get too strong and tired, but take a gradual approach to increase your activity.

② Pay attention to the surrounding environment and climate: in summer: avoid the high noon sun; in winter: pay attention to warmth, to prevent stroke.

③ Wear comfortable and sweat-absorbent clothes: cotton clothing and sports shoes are necessary.

④ Choose safe places: e.g. parks, schools, not in alleys or on roads.

⑤ Do not perform exercise on an empty stomach to avoid hypoglycemia; it should be 2 hours after a meal.

2. Taboos of exercise

① Stop exercising when you are sick or not feeling well.

② Exercise should not be done when you are hungry or one hour after a meal.

③ Do not stop immediately during exercise and follow the steps of the exercise program.

④ Stop immediately if you feel any discomfort during exercise.

III. Smoking cessation and alcohol restriction

Smoking causes high blood pressure. Studies have proved that after smoking a cigarette the heart rate increases by 5 per minute

-The heart rate will increase by 20 beats/minute and the systolic blood pressure will increase by 10-25 mmhg. Why is this so? Because tobacco contains nicotine (nicotine) will excite the central nervous system and sympathetic nerves, making the heart rate faster, but also prompted the adrenal glands to release a large number of catecholamines, so that the small arteries constriction, resulting in an increase in blood pressure. Nicotine also stimulates chemoreceptors in the blood vessels, which reflexively causes an increase in blood pressure. Long-term heavy smoking will also promote atherosclerosis of large arteries, small arteries gradually thickening of the lining, so that the whole blood vessel gradually hardened. At the same time due to smokers in the blood of carbon monoxide hemoglobin content increases, thus reducing the oxygen content of the blood, so that the arterial lining hypoxia, the arterial wall of the lipid content of oxygen increases, accelerating the formation of atherosclerosis. Therefore, people without high blood pressure can be prevented by quitting smoking, and people with high blood pressure should quit smoking.

In contrast to smoking, the advantages and disadvantages of drinking alcohol for the body are controversial. From time to time, various reports have appeared, some saying that drinking a small amount of alcohol is beneficial, others saying that it is harmful, but what is certain is that drinking a large amount of alcohol is definitely harmful, and that a high concentration of alcohol leads to hardening of the arteries and aggravates high blood pressure.

IV. Psychological balance

The psychological manifestations of hypertensive patients are tension, irritability and emotional instability, which in turn are the triggers that make blood pressure rise. Patients can change their behavior, cultivate good adaptability to the natural environment and society, avoid emotional excitement and excessive tension and anxiety, and be calm and collected when things happen; when there is a large amount of mental pressure, they should try to release it, confide in friends and relatives or encourage them to take part in relaxing and enjoyable amateur activities, and pour their spirit into music or send their love to flowers, so as to make themselves live in an optimal situation, and thus maintain a stable blood pressure. Stable blood pressure.

V. Self-management

1, regular measurement of blood pressure, 1-2 weeks should be measured at least once

2, the treatment of hypertension should adhere to the "three hearts", that is, confidence, determination, perseverance, only to do so in order to prevent or delay the body's important organs are damaged!

3、Take antihypertensive medication regularly, do not reduce or stop the medication at will, but can be adjusted under the guidance of the doctor and the present condition to prevent the blood pressure from rebounding.

4, conditions allow, can provide their own sphygmomanometer and learn to self-test blood pressure

5, along with taking appropriate medication, but also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, pay attention to diet, appropriate exercise, maintain emotional stability, sleep enough.

6, the elderly can not lower blood pressure too quickly, blood pressure should be controlled at 140-159mmhg appropriate to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications.

7. Prevention of postural hypotension in the elderly and those taking noradrenergic nerve endings blocking drugs

8, do not need to strictly prohibit sex: note the following cases, should not have sex ① do not immediately after the intercourse ② alcohol should be prohibited sex ③ if there is dizziness, chest tightness and other discomforts to stop having sex, and promptly seek medical attention.

VI. Timely access to medical care

①After taking the medicine ②Blood pressure is elevated or too low, blood pressure fluctuates greatly ③Eyesight blurred, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, hemiparesis, aphasia, impaired consciousness, dyspnea, limb weakness, etc. that is, go to the hospital to seek medical treatment. If the condition is critical, ask for help from 120 emergency center.

Ten Tea Treatments for High Blood Pressure Patients

Hypertension is a common disease of middle-aged and elderly people, patients should adhere to the drug treatment, often use Chinese medicine tea drinking can also play a good role in supporting the treatment.

Chrysanthemum Tea: All chrysanthemums should be chamomile, its taste is not bitter, especially in Suzhou and Hangzhou area born of large white chrysanthemums or small white chrysanthemums the best, each time with about 3 grams of tea, 3 times a day; can also be used to chrysanthemums plus honeysuckle, licorice decoction of tea to drink, which has a calm liver and eyesight, clearing away heat and removing the toxins of the special effects.

Most people with high blood sugar are due to bad habits and environment. Like to eat a variety of fast food do not like to eat vegetables and fruits, long-term down will lead to high blood sugar. Nowadays, the pollution of the environment has led to a drastic decrease in the amount of negative oxygen ions in the air, which can effectively reduce high blood sugar, and the human body does not take in enough negative oxygen ions, which also leads to high blood sugar. In addition, high blood sugar is also an early symptom of diabetes, if you have high blood sugar must be treated early. Other diseases may also lead to high blood sugar, after determining that there is high blood sugar, it should be clarified as soon as possible to find out what causes high blood sugar in order to be able to treat the symptoms in a timely manner.

Under normal circumstances, the body is able to maintain blood sugar at a certain level through hormonal and neural regulation to ensure that the sources and destinations of blood sugar remain in balance.

In recent years, many studies by scholars at home and abroad have proved thatTea has hypoglycemic properties.Tea polysaccharides in tea can protect pancreatic islet β-cells from free radicals by improving the body's antioxidant function and scavenging excessive free radicals generated in the body. On the other hand, tea polysaccharides can enhance the activity of hepatic glucokinase, which mainly exists in mature liver parenchymal cells and pancreatic islet β-cells and is regulated by insulin, catalyzes the conversion of glucose into glucose 6-phosphate, which leads to the formation of hepatic gluconeogenesis, thus lowering blood sugar.

In addition, the amylase in tea can also reduce postprandial hyperglycemia by slowing down or slowing down the digestion and absorption of sugar in the intestines and increasing its excretion. Theophyllin can improve blood rheology and platelet aggregation, reduce whole blood viscosity, improve systemic microcirculation and tissue metabolism level, indirectly play a role in improving the function of insulin cells, thereby reducing blood sugar.

Some of these substances are decomposed and destroyed when they are steeped in boiling water at a high temperature, losing their therapeutic effect. In order for these substances to play a therapeutic role, you can not use hot water to soak, it is best to use cool water to soak 2 hours to 3 hours before drinking.
