Hypertension is a chronic disease that requires long-term regular medication and treatment, as well as lifelong maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. A low-salt, low-fat diet is recommended, with daily salt intake limited to less than 6 grams. Use animal fats sparingly, and reduce consumption of high-fat foods such as animal organs. Avoid high-calorie foods and engage in aerobic exercise daily, such as brisk walking or jogging, to stay fit. Get adequate rest, avoid staying up late, and avoid overexertion. Medication must be prescribed by a specialized cardiologist, and it is essential to follow the doctor's instructions. Additionally, it is advisable to regularly check liver function, kidney function, blood lipids, and electrolytes.
