The Dhaka Times Desk High blood pressure is a complex disease. So this disease should be kept under control. Few home tricks can help you in this task.
Blood pressure is the pressure that builds up inside the blood vessels during blood flow in our body. In this case our normal blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. However, if the blood pressure reaches above 140/90 for any reason, it should be considered as high blood pressure.
But the problem is that high blood pressure is a complex disease. If this disease is not properly controlled, it can damage multiple organs of the body including kidneys, eyes, heart. So blood pressure should be kept under control anyway.
You cannot control this disease by taking medicine alone. Rather, you can use some home remedies to keep this disease under control. Hopefully, this will lower your blood pressure faster. So if you want to stay healthy, learn about these 'home remedies' as soon as possible and start using them without delay.
Exercise is must
To keep this disease under control, you need to exercise regularly. Studies have shown that exercising 5 days a week for 30 minutes can keep this disease under control. So if you want to stay healthy, it would be wise for you to make exercise a part of your daily routine.
But some people are reluctant to exercise. They may rather walk every day. You will also benefit from this.
Avoid raw salt
Salt contains sodium which causes the body to retain water. This is why the pressure increases. Therefore, patients with high blood pressure should reduce salt intake. In particular, eating salt on rice leaves is not allowed at all. You will see the benefit in this. Your blood pressure will then go down.
But many people think that eating beet salt or Saindhav salt does not increase blood pressure. However, this idea has no substance. Rather, these salts can increase blood pressure. So it is better to maintain a safe distance from them.
Potassium rich foods
Medical News Today recommends adding potassium-rich foods to the diet of blood pressure patients. In fact, eating foods rich in potassium can relax the blood vessels. Due to which it will be possible to bring the high pressure under control in a very short time. So try to keep more greens, vegetables and fruits in the diet. Even milk and curd should be consumed.
drink coffee
Blood pressure control should reduce the desire to sip coffee every now and then. Because the caffeine stored in coffee is ready to increase blood pressure. So if you want to stay healthy, never drink more than 1 to 2 cups of coffee a day. Instead, you can have fruit juice or health drinks. This will keep your blood pressure under control.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
