【健康危機】高血壓是身體響起警號
⭐高血壓會引起多種致命疾病
⭐養成定期量血壓習慣
#星期四食材
小心高鈉食物
高血壓是一種動脈血壓升高的慢性疾病,分為原發性及續發性,續發性高血壓有明確病因,例如懷孕、內分泌異常、腎病等;而原發性高血壓與遺傳、年齡、體重等有關,如果父母都患有高血壓,子女遺傳機率可高達六成,而患病率隨年齡增長而增加,所以如有高血壓的遺傳風險,宜檢視生活與飲食方式,遠離疾病。
常說吃太鹹的食物容易導致高血壓,其實導致高血壓元兇是鈉,鈉不只存在於鹽裡,有些吃起來不太鹹的食物鈉含量都相當高,故購買包裝食物要留意營養標籤,世界衞生組織建議成人每日的鈉攝取量應少於2000毫克(即略少於一平茶匙鹽)。
常見高鈉食物:
白麵包 — 「無味」的白麵包加入鹽及酸度調節劑乙酸鈉等製作
麵條 — 杯麵鈉含量高,有些乾麵條鈉含量也不少
燒味 — 燒味製作時加入大量調味料
醬料 — 豉油、蠔油、雞粉、鹵水汁、魚露、蝦醬等都是高鈉調味料
罐頭 — 為延長罐頭保質期製作時添加鹽分
湯 — 湯底味道越濃郁,鈉含量就越高
醃製食品 — 火腿、香腸、午餐肉、榨菜、泡菜、鹹蛋等都是高鈉食物
零食 — 薯片、蝦片、餅乾、魷魚絲等小小一片鈉含量都很高

Beware of high-sodium foods
Hypertension is a chronic disease related the pressure of blood pushing against the arteries. There are two types of hypertension — primary and secondary. Secondary hypertension has apparent causes, for instance, pregnancy, endocrine disorders, and kidney problems. On the other hand, primary or essential hypertension is associated with hereditary, age, and weight.
If both parents suffer from hypertension, their children have a 60% chance of inheriting it. Chances of having hypertension would also increase with age. If you are at risk, do observe and adjust your lifestyle and dietary habits to keep hypertension at bay.
People always tell us that eating extremely salty food can cause hypertension. The main culprit of hypertension is actually sodium, which does not only exist in salt, but also foods that are not even salty. Therefore, keep an eye on the nutritional label of foods before buying them. The World Health Organization suggests that an adult should consume less than 2000mg of sodium per day. This is equivalent to less than one teaspoon of salt.
Foods that are high in sodium:
White bread — contains salt and acidity regulator like sodium acetates
Noodles — cup noodles and some dried noodles have high sodium content
Roasted foods — spices and seasonings are ingredients used to enrich the flavor of roasted foods
Sauces — soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken stock powder, braised and brined sauce, fish sauce, and shrimp paste are all high in sodium
Canned foods — sodium is added to canned foods to extend their shelf life
Soup — soup that is rich in flavor normally contains a lot of sodium
Pickled foods — ham, hot dog, luncheon meat, pickled mustard, and salted egg are high-sodium foods
Snacks — potato chips, prawn crackers, biscuits, and even dried shredded squid are high in sodium

Are you at risk for diabetes?
Consuming too much sugar can lead to diabetes? Drinking sweet drinks regularly can increase your risk of getting diabetes? Are you at risk for diabetes?
Let’s take a look at risk factors:
☐ Having irregular meals
☐ Lack of coarse grains in diets
☐ Sweet tooth
☐ Feel dizzy when hungry
☐ Enjoy smoking and drinking alcohol
☐ Lack of exercise
☐ Stressful work
☐ Obesity, BMI exceeds 25
☐ Lack of sleep/insomnia
☐ Hereditary
☐ Aged 45 and above
☐ High blood pressure and cholesterol
☐ Gestational diabetes
There are two types of diabetes mellitus: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 patients cannot produce sufficient insulin due to the problems with their immune system. Type 2, which is more common, normally happens to elderly folks.
Type 2 diabetes is also associated with obesity and unhealthy dietary habits, which cause the pancreas to overwork. Excessive secretion of stress hormone, too, can inhibit the secretion of insulin, which in turn leads to diabetes.
If these risk factors seem familiar to you, then you should start paying attention to your health and go for regular body check-ups. Getting rid of all the unhealthy eating and drinking habits is the best preventive measure to keep diabetes at bay.

【男人四十】「三高」越趨年輕化
⭐長期飲食不節的後果
⭐容易誘發冠心病腦中風等致命病症
#星期三CheckCheckMail
飲食不節慎防三高
朱先生:「最近做身體檢查,醫生說我在『三高』邊緣,如何解決這個中年危機?」
CheckCheckCin:「三高」即高血壓、高血糖及高血脂,可說是都市人的富貴病,長期飲食不節,經常進食高脂肪、高糖份、高鹽份食物,再加上缺乏運動、壓力大、作息不正常等因素,令各種身體指數超標。西醫會以各種藥物來降低血壓、血糖及血脂,而從中醫角度來看需要改善體質,必須改變生活習慣,才能從根源上緩解「三高」症狀。一般來說痰濕、血瘀及陰虛體質人士比較容易患上「三高」,因為痰濕體質人士脾氣虛弱,水液運化失調;血瘀體質人士則血脈不通;陰虛體質人士作息顛倒容易令血壓上升。
想改善「三高」情況,宜諮詢註冊中醫師對症下藥調理體質,飲食上宜清淡,多菜少肉,減少外食或加工食品,避免進食高脂肪、高糖份、高鹽份的食物;養成定期做運動的習慣,一星期最少三次,每次最少30分鐘,強度以輕微出汗為宜;避免晚睡熬夜;尋找合適的減壓方法,因為焦慮不安等負面情緒也會導致血壓上升。
山楂黑木耳茶

材料:山楂15克、黑木耳15克
做法:材料切絲,洗淨放保溫瓶,以熱開水沖洗一遍,再注入熱開水焗10分鐘即可。此茶可反覆沖泡至味淡,建議一星期飲用2-3次,連續兩星期為一個療程。

Unhealthy diets and ‘the three highs’
“I just completed a body check-up recently, and the doctor told me I’m at risk of getting the three highs. What can I do to solve this mid-life crisis?”
CheckCheckCin: The three highs refer to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, and urban dwellers tend to have these problems. Poor dietary habits such as consuming foods that are high in cholesterol, sugar, and sodium, and the lack of exercise, inability to cope with stress, and unhealthy lifestyle would cause a spike in the readings.
According to Chinese Medicine, aside from using medication, an individual should improve the body constitution and lead a healthier lifestyle if he or she wishes to get these conditions under control.
In general, individuals with the damp heat, blood stasis, and yin-deficient body constitutions would develop the three highs more easily. Individuals with a damp heat body constitution have asthenic qi and spleen, and the fluid would stagnate easily in the body. Those with the blood stasis constitution may experience the stagnation of the blood and the vein. People with a yin-deficient constitution will experience a spike in their blood pressure if they constantly mess with their biological clock.
To improve the condition of the three highs, consult registered and licensed Chinese physicians, so they can prescribe you the right medicine and customize treatment for you.Eat lighter food, take more vegetables and cut down on meat, reduce eating out and processed food, and avoid eating foods that are high in cholesterol, sugar, and sodium.
Cultivate the habit of exercising regularly. Make it a point to exercise and sweat three times a week, and each session should last at least 30 minutes. Avoid sleeping late and find the most appropriate way to relieve your stress, as negative emotions can also trigger a surge in the blood pressure.
