Obesity hypertension refers to high blood pressure caused by excessive obesity. Patients can eat a small amount of salt without much effect; if excessive intake, the condition may be aggravated.
Hypertensive patients should maintain a low-salt, low-fat and low-sugar diet in their daily life, while moderate intake of some salt is helpful for maintaining the body’s needs, and does not have much effect on hypertension.
Edible salt contains sodium chloride, excessive intake is easy to cause water and sodium retention, resulting in an increase in the body’s blood volume, prompting a rise in blood pressure, exacerbating the condition of hypertension.
For high blood pressure caused by obesity, weight should be controlled through dietary regimen and moderate exercise, especially avoiding foods such as salted vegetables and pickled foods, which can better control the condition, and taking medication regularly under the guidance of professional physicians.
