Good afternoon, everyone.
Thank you all for being here.
We come here today to learn about
“Health education-Hypertension”.
Okay, let’s get started!
First of all, I would like to talk about high blood
pressure (HBP or hypertension) is a symptomless
“silent killer” that quietly damages blood vessels
and leads to serious health threats.
High blood pressure (HBP,hypertension)
is when your blood pressure, the force
of your blood pushing against the walls
of your blood vessels, is consistently too
high.
Hypertension can also lead to problems
in the organs affected by high blood
pressure.
Long-term hypertension can cause
complications through arteriosclerosis,
where the formation of plaques results
in narrowing of blood vessels.
American Heart Association (AHA)
define the following ranges of blood
pressure (in mmHg):
high blood pressure can
lead to:
Heart attack —
High blood pressure damages arteries
that can become blocked and prevent
blood from flowing to tissues in the
heart muscle.
Stroke—
High blood pressure can cause blood
vessels in the brain to burst or clog more
easily.
Heart failure —
The increased workload from high blood
pressure can cause the heart to enlarge
and fail to supply blood to the body.
Kidney disease or failure —
High blood pressure can damage the
arteries around the kidneys and interfere
with their ability to effectively filter blood.
Vision loss —
High blood pressure can strain or damage
blood vessels in the eyes.
Sexual dysfunction —
This can be erectile dysfunction in men or
lower libido in women.
Next, we will be introducing Causes of
hypertension
There are two types of high
blood pressure.
1.Primary (essential) hypertension
For most adults, there's no identifiable
cause of high blood pressure. This type of
high blood pressure, called primary
(essential) hypertension, tends to develop
gradually over many years.
2.Secondary hypertension
Some people have high blood pressure
caused by an underlying condition. This
type of high blood pressure, called
secondary hypertension, tends to appear
suddenly and cause higher blood pressure
than does primary hypertension.
Various conditions and
medications can lead to secondary
hypertension, including:
1.Obstructive sleep apnea
2.Kidney problems
3.Adrenal gland tumors
4.Thyroid problems
5.Certain defects in blood vessels you're born
with (congenital)
6.Certain medications, such as birth control
pills, cold remedies, decongestants,
over-the-counter pain relievers and some
prescription drugs
7.Illegal drugs, such as cocaine and
amphetamines
8.Alcohol abuse or chronic alcohol use
Next, we will be introducing the factors
of hypertension
And high blood pressure has many
risk factors, including:
1.Age
The risk of high blood pressure
increases as you age. Through early
middle age, or about age 45, high blood
pressure is more common in men.
Women are more likely to develop high
blood pressure after age 65.
2.Family history
High blood pressure
tends to run in families.
3. Being overweight or obese
The more you weigh the more blood
you need to supply oxygen and
nutrients to your tissues. As the volume
of blood circulated through your blood
vessels increases, so does the pressure
on your artery walls.
4. Using tobacco
Not only does smoking or chewing
tobacco immediately raise your blood
pressure temporarily, but the chemicals
in tobacco can damage the
lining of your artery walls.
This can cause your arteries to narrow,
increasing your blood pressure.
5. Too much salt (sodium)
in your diet.
Too much sodium in your diet can cause
your body to retain fluid, which
increases blood pressure.
much salt (sodium) diet
such as toast, cold
noodles,sports drinks and
many more.
6. Too little potassium
in your diet
Potassium helps balance the amount of
sodium in your cells. If you don't get
enough potassium in your diet or retain
enough potassium, you may accumulate
too much sodium in your blood.
Long time can not or do not want to eat
normally, can cause low potassium,
common in the thin elderly, alcoholics,
anorexia nervosa patients.
Improve methods such as less meat and
eat carrots, celery, whole grains and
many more.
7. Too little vitamin D
in your diet
It's uncertain if having too little vitamin
D in your diet can lead to high blood
pressure. Vitamin D may affect an
enzyme produced by your kidneys that
affects your blood pressure.
8. Drinking too much alcohol
Over time, heavy drinking can damage
your heart. Having more than two drinks
a day for men and more than one drink
a day for women may affect your blood
pressure.
9. Stress
High levels of stress can lead to a
temporary increase in blood pressure.
If you try to relax by eating more, using
tobacco or drinking alcohol, you may
only increase problems with high blood
pressure.
But while there is no cure, using
medications as prescribed and making
positive lifestyle changes can help
enhance your quality of life and reduce
your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney
disease and more.
Make changes that matter:
1.Eat a well-balanced, low-salt diet.
you can reduce the amount of salt you eat
by putting down the saltshaker, you
generally should also pay attention to the
amount of salt that's in the processed foods
you eat, such as canned soups or frozen
dinners
2. Limit alcohol.
Even if you're healthy, alcohol can raise
your blood pressure. If you choose to drink
alcohol, do so in moderation.
3. Enjoy regular physical activity.
Regular physical activity can help lower
your blood pressure, manage stress, reduce
your risk of several health problems and
keep your weight under control.
4. Maintain a healthy weight.
Keeping a healthy weight, or losing weight
if you're overweight or obese, can help you
control your high blood pressure and lower
your risk of related health problems.
5. Take your medications properly.
If side effects or costs pose problems, don't
stop taking your medications. Ask your
doctor about other options.
6. Know your numbers
The best way to know if your blood pressure
is in a healthy or unhealthy range is to get it
checked.
If high blood pressure is diagnosed, regular
monitoring can help confirm if you have
high blood pressure, detect patterns and
alert you any changes.
It will also show you if the changes you’ve
made are working.
Sticking to lifestyle changes can be
difficult, especially if you don't see
or feel any symptoms of high blood
pressure.
If you need motivation, remember
the risks associated with
uncontrolled high blood pressure. It
may help to enlist the support of
your family and friends as well.
Let’s have a game.
Here’s a poster about healthy
lifestyle.
But we lose the details.
Now we need all of you to help us to
fill them back
Now 柔萍 will demonstrate you first.
RULEs
pick a card over here.
As you can see,here’s yes and no.
it maens good lifestyles and bad
lifestyles.
put it to the correct side where the
card belongs.
Does anyone volunteer?
You will get a special gift.
alright, now we need each team have
one person to join the game.
