Speech from Dr Ho Chung Ping

何仲平建議，多進食含鉀、鎂的食品，有助身體健康。

高血壓會導致如中風、心臟病發及腎衰竭等健康問題，有醫生指每日在快餐店進食的火腿、煙肉等醃製食品，所含鹽分已佔當天攝取量70％，增加患高血壓風險。

醫學會與數個醫學組織，於上月在油尖旺區訪問五間中、小學，575名年齡介乎40至60歲的家長，發現23％受訪者不知自己有否患高血壓。

學會社區網絡中央聯絡人何仲平指，年近40歲便應進行基本身體檢查，調查結果反映市民的健康意識淺薄。他提醒，人體每日吸收鹽份不應超過5g，可助預防高血壓。

講座即場體檢 助民防高血壓

香港文匯報訊（記者 廖穎琪）血壓高可導致多個健康危機，包括中風、心臟病及腎衰竭，但早期病徵不明顯。為提高市民對預防高血壓的認識，香港醫學會、醫管局九龍中聯網、浸信會醫院、九龍地域校長聯會及尖沙咀街坊福利會等多個組織，昨日舉辦「共創健康社區」活動，並透過多場健康講座，講解早期偵測與治療高血壓及腎臟疾病的重要性，又設有即場體檢站，免費為市民量度血壓、血糖、尿蛋白及腰圍等。

高永文籲「走多步」
為活動擔任主禮嘉賓的食物及衛生局局長高永文表示，都市人生活繁忙，較易忽略飲食健康，呼籲公眾「微調」生活習慣，例如減少乘車，為健康「走多步」。他又透露，接替年底離任的衛生防護中心總監曾浩輝的人選，最快下月公布。

「共創健康社區 2012」
- 認識高血壓

高血壓是香港以至全世界其中一個最重要的公眾健康問題。血壓高會導致的健康危機包括中風、心臟病發及腎衰竭等。故此，認識高血壓這疾病非常重要，因為很多高血壓患者並沒有病徵。而有質量的生活方式，例如良好的飲食習慣、適當的運動和壓力管理，均有助預防高血壓，同時有利社區發展和市民健康。
有見及此，香港醫學會聯同醫院管理局九龍中醫院聯網、香港浸信會醫院、香港腎科團隊、油尖旺健康城市執行委員會、九龍地域校長聯會及尖沙咀街坊福利會於二零一二年十一月十一日(星期日)假尖沙咀街坊福利會尖沙咀會堂舉行名為「共創健康社區」公眾活動。活動共舉辦多場健康講座，講解早期偵測與治療高血壓及腎臟疾病的重要性，以及介紹「得舒飲食」。當日並設有即場體檢站，免費為市民量度血壓、血糖、尿蛋白及腰圍等。多位醫生亦會在場義務為市民提供醫學諮詢服務。場內亦設有「得舒飲食」攤位，介紹「得舒飲食」的重點和簡單易學食譜。
市民要知道，只要維持健康的飲食習慣配合適當的運動，便可以預防出現高血壓。簡單如此，相信每位市民都做得到
