For some reason, the blood pressure of the silent patient increases in winter.

Bangla Press Desk:   The problem of high blood pressure increases during the winter season. The tendency of heart attacks also increases during this time. There may be some daily mistakes behind the increase in blood pressure in winter. It is possible to solve such a problem by keeping a few things in mind. If you have a problem of high blood pressure, it is important to take medicine regularly - this is right, and it is also necessary to control your daily life. However, if your blood pressure suddenly increases after this, you should consult your doctor.

In this regard, a research report published by the National Institute of Health says that heart patients and those who have hypertension need to be a little more careful during this time. It is very important to take a certain amount of medicine to control blood pressure. However, there are other reasons besides medicine, which can silently increase this problem.

Especially in winter. In fact, in this season, the arteries and veins of the body shrink due to the extreme cold. This shrinkage is mainly to maintain body temperature. Blood pressure increases due to the narrowing of blood vessels. There are some other reasons besides medicine, which can silently increase such a problem. Find out what you need to do to prevent a sudden increase in blood pressure.

Avoid processed foods with salt. There is a tendency to eat frozen foods, processed packaged soups, and fried foods during winter. Such foods contain more salt. As a result, if you have blood pressure problems, it can increase. Avoiding processed foods and eating foods cooked with moderate salt and avoiding the habit of eating salt in your diet will keep your body healthy. Therefore, you should avoid them.

And when you eat tempting winter foods - cakes, pastries, pies, halwa, and jaggery sweets, such foods also contain a lot of calories and fat. If you have cholesterol, such fatty foods are very harmful. Fat can increase cholesterol levels and create 'plaque' in the arteries. As a result, blood pressure increases and the risk of heart attack increases.

Apart from this, there is also a lack of exercise. Everyone becomes stiff in the cold. Especially the elderly. As a result, normal walking also decreases. Those who walk in the morning and afternoon, skip walking in this winter season. That is why blood pressure increases due to lack of exercise and walking.

Again, it is seen that eating and drinking is more in the winter season and due to lack of exercise, a tendency to gain weight is observed. At this time, sweating also decreases. Water intake is reduced. The tendency to drink hot and strong drinks also increases in winter. Frequent tea and coffee and drinking alcohol at evening parties - all these can increase blood pressure.

Especially those whose blood pressure is on the rise, they need to be careful about their drinks. Instead of frequent tea and coffee, herbal hot drinks without tea leaves, such as cinnamon and ginger, can be sipped. All these things affect the body. As a result, blood pressure can increase. Therefore, it is very important to keep the weight under control to stay healthy.
