  Seven types of foods that patients with colorectal cancer should avoid. According to the 2007 Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) 298(7):754).  "Conclusions: Higher intake of a Western dietary pattern may be associated with a higher risk of recurrence and mortality among patients with stage III colon cancer treated with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Further studies are needed to delineate which components of such a diet show the strongest association." The early treatment rate of colorectal cancer is very high. If it does not recur within 5 years, it means that the cancer has a chance to be cured. Therefore, patients with colorectal cancer should pay more attention to their daily diet to avoid deterioration of the disease. Seven types of foods to avoid: 1.

What is pregnancy-induced hypertension?

Pregnancy-induced hypertension 

Hypertension in pregnancy is an unpredictable and high-risk disease during pregnancy. If the blood pressure exceeds the standard, it must be controlled to ensure the health of the fetus and the pregnant woman. Therefore, a better understanding of pregnancy-induced hypertension is helpful for future judgment and treatment.

Pregnancy-induced hypertension means that a pregnant woman does not have a history of hypertension, but after 20 weeks of pregnancy, it can be defined as Pregnancy-induced hypertension if the symptoms of hypertension are found on examination. If the pregnant woman has a related medical history, the symptoms of hypertension during pregnancy are not pregnancy-induced hypertension. If you have symptoms of hypertension before 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is possible that the pregnant woman is a hypertensive patient, but has not been previously diagnosed.

After 20 weeks of pregnancy, there will be an item to measure blood pressure in the obstetric examination, and the detection of Pregnancy-induced hypertension needs to be measured twice with an interval of about 4 to 6 hours. If the systolic blood pressure is greater than 140mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure is greater than 90mmHg, It is the so-called Pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Causes and symptoms

According to medical reports and literature, the exact cause of Pregnancy-induced hypertension is not yet clear, but there is a certain proportion. For pregnant women and fetuses, the potential risk of Pregnancy-induced hypertension is high, so it cannot be ignored. Patients with Pregnancy-induced hypertension may not have symptoms. Some patients will experience dizziness and headaches due to high blood pressure. Some patients have no symptoms and may only have pregnancy discomfort.

The impact of Pregnancy-induced hypertension

Generally speaking, pregnancy-induced hypertension is more dangerous to pregnant women than fetuses, but the nutrients needed by the fetus must be obtained from the mother. Therefore, once a pregnant mother suffers from Pregnancy-induced hypertension, not only will the pregnant woman have adverse symptoms, but the fetus will also suffer influences.

The most common discomfort of hypertension is headache and vomiting, but for pregnant women, the most serious and direct impact of Pregnancy-induced hypertension is to trigger stroke, because blood pressure continues to rise, exceeding the limit of vascular energy load. It will rupture the cerebral blood vessels. If the patient has a stroke, not only the pregnant woman is in danger, but the fetus is also relatively threatened. When the blood pressure is too high, edema may occur throughout the body, and the blood vessels in the fundus will also be edema. Fundus edema may cause visual impairment, blurred vision, retinal detachment and other eye diseases. If there are serious complications such as hemolysis, liver and kidney abnormalities, low platelets, etc., it is also very unfavorable for pregnant women, and they must seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Prevention and treatment methods

Because Pregnancy-induced hypertension is not easy to predict, it is also difficult to prevent its occurrence. If it is known to have Pregnancy-induced hypertension, it must be prevented from getting worse. Doctors will also give corresponding treatment according to the patient’s symptoms to protect the pregnant woman. And fetal health.

1. Good life and rest
2. Keep warm
3. Diet control
4. Observation records
5. Keep a good mood

Treatment

For pregnant women whose blood pressure can be effectively controlled, there is no need to be hospitalized for observation and treatment, but blood pressure must be measured sooner or later. Severe Pregnancy-induced hypertension requires hospitalization, and whether pregnant women need to take blood pressure control drugs must be evaluated by a physician. Because many drugs interfere with the blood flow of the placenta and umbilical cord, and may affect the health of the fetus after taking them, most people want to control blood pressure from diet and life first.

Pregnant women who are diagnosed with Pregnancy-induced hypertension do not need to panic too much. Usually, they can control their blood pressure by adjusting their lifestyle according to the doctor's advice and taking the correct medication on time.

  Can people with diabetes eat chocolate? Eating  dark chocolate every day can help stabilize blood sugar. Studies have found that diabetes patients who take 25 grams of dark chocolate daily can reduce glycosylated hemoglobin, promote insulin secretion, and reduce the incidence of diabetes by 30%. Dark chocolate is rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc. The cocoa in dark chocolate also contains antioxidants called flavonoids, which may have some health benefits. Anti-oxidation Dark chocolate contains several compounds with antioxidant properties, such as flavanols and polyphenols. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative stress. Oxidative stress refers to the damage caused by excessive free radicals to body cells and tissues. Oxidative stress promotes the natural aging process.
