Hypertension is a clinical condition that affects many Italians. In fact, it is estimated that 31% of the female population and 33% of the male population suffer from hypertension. To keep hypertension at bay, it is advisable to follow a specific diet and to adopt healthy lifestyle habits. In particular, if you suffer from hypertension, it is better to moderate the consumption of these two very common drinks.
How to fight this condition with proper nutrition
The term arterial hypertension refers to that condition for which blood pressure is higher than normal. We therefore speak of hypertension when maximum and minimum values equal to or greater than 135 mmHg and 90 mmHg are recorded. Exceeding these values in a healthy adult subject can lead to the onset of important cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure and stroke.
To combat hypertension, it is recommended in the medical field to follow a diet low in salt and sodium, to be combined with drug therapy. Better, therefore, to limit sausages and cheeses, and pay particular attention to bread, crackers and products and snacks, unsuspected but widely consumed sources of salt.

There are also two types of drinks that are best limited if you have hypertension. Experts advise, in fact, to reduce the consumption of alcohol, with quantities that vary according to age and gender.
Men suffering from hypertension should therefore be content with a glass of wine for lunch and dinner. Conversely, women and people over 65 should try to consume as little alcohol as possible.
At the same time it is advisable not to exceed two units of coffee or tea per day.
These are therefore the two types of drinks to reduce in case you suffer from this medical condition.
