00:00:03.031 --> 00:00:05.551 
Drinks people with high blood
pressure should avoid during Tet 

00:00:05.551 --> 00:00:08.831 
1. Alcohol, beer and alcoholic beverages 

00:00:08.831 --> 00:00:10.571 
This is the top threat. 

00:00:11.091 --> 00:00:14.077 
Alcohol not only increases heart rate
but also causes blood vessels to 

00:00:14.077 --> 00:00:15.571 
constrict, causing immediate high blood pressure. 

00:00:16.191 --> 00:00:19.010 
According to Mayo Clinic, drinking more
than 3 glasses of alcohol at a 

00:00:19.010 --> 00:00:20.311 
time can temporarily increase blood pressure 

00:00:20.311 --> 00:00:23.191 
and prolonged abuse will cause
permanent damage to blood vessels. 

00:00:23.951 --> 00:00:26.391 
2. Soft drinks and carbonated drinks 

00:00:26.391 --> 00:00:29.285 
The extremely high sugar content in soft
drinks is the culprit causing 

00:00:29.285 --> 00:00:30.491 
weight gain and insulin resistance. 

00:00:30.491 --> 00:00:33.051 
Both are closely related
to high blood pressure. 

00:00:33.531 --> 00:00:36.211 
Studies show that consuming
too much sugar, fructose, 

00:00:36.491 --> 00:00:39.024 
reduces the concentration of
oxygen-nitrics in the body, a substance 

00:00:39.024 --> 00:00:40.291 
that helps blood vessels relax. 

00:00:41.131 --> 00:00:42.871 
3. Energy drinks 

00:00:42.871 --> 00:00:46.042 
Energy drinks contain very high levels
of caffeine and other 

00:00:46.042 --> 00:00:47.311 
stimulants such as taurine. 

00:00:47.891 --> 00:00:51.731 
They can cause blood pressure and heart
rate to spike after a short period of use, 

00:00:52.011 --> 00:00:54.071 
very dangerous for people who already
have a background blood pressure disorder. 

00:00:54.811 --> 00:00:57.151 
4. Thick tea and strong coffee 

00:00:57.151 --> 00:00:59.951 
Although tea and coffee
have some health benefits, 

00:00:59.951 --> 00:01:02.971 
but consuming too much caffeine during
Tet due to staying up late, 

00:01:03.331 --> 00:01:06.191 
entertaining guests will cause excessive
excitement to the central nervous system, 

00:01:06.551 --> 00:01:08.771 
constricting blood vessels and pushing blood pressure levels up. 

00:01:09.651 --> 00:01:13.291 
5. Canned juice and diet soft
drinks, diet soda 

00:01:13.291 --> 00:01:15.431 
Don't let sugar-free labels ignite. 

00:01:15.911 --> 00:01:19.251 
Many canned juices still contain
preservatives, nachi oil, salt 

00:01:19.251 --> 00:01:21.991 
and diet soft drinks contain artificial sweeteners 

00:01:21.991 --> 00:01:24.291 
can negatively affect metabolism, 

00:01:24.291 --> 00:01:26.251 
indirectly put pressure on the cardiovascular system.
