現代醫學認為高血壓是病,可能有腦中風的危險,需要接受治療,但是中醫卻認為高血壓不是病,它是疾病的結果,疾病才是「因」,但是造成高血壓的病因,除了高血脂、動脈硬化、內分泌失調等之外,其他的病因往往難以檢查出來,所以現代醫學就直接治療這個「果」,使用利尿劑、血管擴張劑等方式強迫降壓,務求使得「帳面」看起來漂亮,醫病雙方皆大歡喜。

  但是站在中醫的立場,強迫降壓只是治標,疾病的本質沒有改變,病因仍在,將來還是得面對它的傷害,而且到了疾病爆發的時候,往往也是積重難返,能夠亡羊補牢就不錯了。
 
  陰陽平衡,消除高血壓
 
  中醫尋求高血壓的病因,往往都是氣血失調所引起,治療上是要整體體質能夠改變,回到陰陽平衡的狀態,病因若消除,高血壓當然就消除了,但因體質改變需花較久的時間,而患者往往用「西藥降壓」的習慣面對中醫治療,要求吃藥就要很快降壓,所以最後就會失去耐性,放棄根本治療之道。

  要改善血壓,除了用藥調整體質以外,也需要從生活習慣上做改變,而在飲食上,除了少油、少鹽、不要吃煎炸物、減少蛋白質攝取,還可善用食療來幫忙。

  如果有病人向爺爺請教病理原因,他都很詳細地解說,但若問到食療,他總是笑笑不太回答,我猜,他可能是覺得醫生注重的是專業的醫療,食療是輔助,這些就交給「護理人員」吧!而阿嬤跟爺爺是最佳拍檔,阿嬤在抓藥的時候,就會教病人 做食療,協助病人利用一些偏方改善體質和病情。我也認為,食療是幫健康打底的工作,只要有效又容易取得,便值得推廣。

   喝湯一個月,控制血壓

  對高血壓病人,最常教他們煮湯。別訝異,這三道湯,可以幫助改變體質,讓很多人的高血壓控制良好,只要連續吃一個月以上,很多人的血壓就自然恢復正常呢!

    紫菜蔥花湯改善高血壓

   紫菜蔥花湯是第一道湯。冬天因寒冷,血管更加收縮,血壓往往較高,光吃降血壓藥,強迫擴張血管,血管的本質沒改善,久而久之還會失去彈性,就算血壓「看似」正常,終究有破裂之虞。

    持續喝,改善血管彈性

   以前喝紫菜湯,本以為蔥花是調味,後來我才明白,紫菜含有許多可讓血管軟化的物質,蔥則能讓血管緩緩擴張,並促進循環溫暖手腳,效果和藥一樣好,機制卻更加自然。所以,會手腳冰冷的高血壓患者,無分男女、年齡,都很適合喝這道湯。

  唯需注意的是,紫菜的纖維很多,胃腸消化不佳的人,最好多咬幾下,以免肚子脹痛,若腸胃實在不行,也可以只喝湯,因為湯汁是精華。最奇妙的是,有些高血壓病人飯前喝紫菜蔥湯,飯後血壓就會降低,而沒有血管硬化、血壓正常的人喝這道湯,卻不會因此降壓過低。蔥雖然可以降低血壓,但是維持不久,所以建議要常常喝,以持續改善血管彈性。

  味噌海帶(芽)湯是第二道湯。味噌對身體好處多多,還能幫助消化,海帶一樣可以軟化血管,但需注意鹽分不要過高。本道湯還可以加入豆腐,味噌和豆腐都是以黃豆製作的,裡面有很棒的卵磷脂,可以使血管裡面的髒污溶解清除,而達到保護心血管的作用。

  芹菜洋蔥蒜頭湯是第三道湯。芹菜和洋蔥可以降血壓,蒜頭裡含有硫,可以保護肝臟和血管,加強肝臟清除毒素的作用,另外加上荸薺、番茄,都是風味好又健康的食材。

  這三道湯的效果在伯仲之間,大家可以輪著喝。

I mowed the lawns this early moring.  The warm weather of spring expedites the growth of buddies and sprouts.  Now they are blossoming proudly show off their rich colors and shapes.   These flowers you see here have been nurtured by the bungalow former owner.  Thanks to John and Miranda for their excellent effort.  My job is to keep them in good shape.   There is lot to learn about gardening.  By the way here are some pictures I took this morning.   Enjoy guys!

Good morning guys.   It is a very lovely morning with sunshine brightening up everything within his reach.   I grabbed my camera and took more photos at the backyard.   The spring sprouts from the trees, shrubs, weeds  and grasses come out reaching for the light.   Yesterday, I put on plenty of top soil for perennials ensuring that they have enough nutrients for their growth during the year.  

I wanted to buy some annuals but I decided to save this money for the gas which are so expensive these days.   I used to spend about $70 per week on gas for a full tank.   Now I started to use less. I use only half tank and that is half of what I used in the past.      This is my message to the oil company.  If every body does the same the fat oil company would hear our VOICE.   Would you join me protesting our voice?  I use the public transport a little more for shopping in the nearby vicinity.

This early morning, before I hit the road to Angus Glen Community for the Taichi kung fu practise,  I took some photos at the yards in the front and at the back of the bungalow.  The perennials sprout out already in different colors.   They mark the coming of spring which we have been waiting for weeks.  


As weather gets warm, I have to start gardening in the yards as well as maintaining the bungalow.  These hands on work would keep me busy physically while blogging will keep my mind active.  I enjoy the work and there is no rush nor deadline.
