Every person close to 60-70 accumulates a whole bunch of diseases. They appeared not in one day, not overnight - we have been "earning" them for years. Constant experiences, stress and poor nutrition, smoking and alcohol drinking lead to the development of cardiovascular diseases.
But it is in our competence to prevent and stop the development and progress of these diseases.
First of all, we need to monitor your blood pressure, weight, sugar (glucose) level in blood and cholesterol.
Measuring these four indicators does not require much effort. Regular monitoring can help prevent serious health problems.
Two other important aspects are body weight and smoking.
It is proved that a decrease in body weight by an average of 5 kg reduces the level of systolic (upper) pressure by 4 mm Hg, and diastolic (lower) - by 3.6 mm Hg, respectively. Normalization of weight will not only help stabilize pressure, but also reduce joint pain – it will be easier to the body to "carry" itself.
We can talk endlessly about the dangers of smoking. I cannot stress it enough that you should give up smoking at all. And do not talk about the pleasure of smoking a cigarette, stress and so on. Smoking cigarettes increases the blood pressure, "spoils" blood vessels plus causes an unpleasant odor.
