Hypertension patients during the holiday season is not to eat and drink without restraint, which will cause some harm to the body, what is the diet of hypertension patients to pay attention to? Here’s a quick look at it together. Note one, reduce sodium intake We first understand the general rule of hypertension dietary requirements, according to the “Chinese hypertension prevention and treatment guidelines (third edition)” pointed out that sodium can significantly increase the risk of hypertension and hypertension, while potassium salt can counteract the role of sodium to increase hypertension. The sodium intake of all residents in China is significantly higher than the current WHO recommendation of less than 6 grams per day, while potassium intake is severely deficient. Therefore, all hypertensive patients should take various measures to reduce sodium intake and increase potassium intake in food as much as possible. The main measures include: 1, reduce the amount of cooking salt as much as possible, it is recommended to use a salt spoon that can be quantified; 2, reduce the amount of MSG, soy sauce and other condiments containing sodium salt; 3, eat less or do not eat all kinds of processed foods containing high sodium salt, such as salted vegetables, ham, sausages and all kinds of fried food; 4, increase the intake of vegetables and fruits; 5, people with good kidney function, use cooking salt containing potassium. Note two, limit alcohol consumption long-term heavy drinking can lead to increased blood pressure, limit the amount of alcohol consumption can significantly reduce the risk of hypertension. In China, there are more men who drink a lot of alcohol for a long time, and in several ethnic minorities such as the She women also have the habit of drinking alcohol. Daily alcohol intake should not exceed 25 grams for men; 15 grams for women. Do not advocate hypertensive patients drink alcohol, such as drinking, should be a small amount: liquor, wine (or rice wine) and beer amount of less than 50ml, 100ml, 300ml respectively. Note 3, should not eat food do not eat 1, wine: drinking alcohol can make the heart rate increase, vasoconstriction, blood pressure rise, but also to promote calcium salts, cholesterol and other deposits in the blood vessel wall, accelerating atherosclerosis. A large number of long-term alcohol consumption, more likely to induce atherosclerosis, aggravating hypertension. Therefore, hypertensive patients should stop drinking. 2, strong tea: hypertension patients avoid drinking strong tea, especially avoid drinking strong black tea. Because the theophylline contained in black tea is the highest, can cause brain excitement, restlessness, insomnia, palpitations and other discomfort, thus making the blood pressure rise. And drink light green tea is conducive to the treatment of hypertension. 3, dog meat: hypertension disease, although many causes, but most of the nature of Yin deficiency Yang hyperactivity, dog meat warm kidney Yang, can aggravate the Yin deficiency Yang hyperactivity type hypertension. Other types of hypertension, or for the kidney Yang, deficiency Yang disturbance, phlegm and fire within the accumulation of blood stasis, etc., the consumption of dog meat or restless floating Yang or aggravate the phlegm and fire or help fire dry blood, are not conducive to the condition. So should not be eaten. 4, more salt: the main component of salt is sodium chloride, sodium slippage can cause an increase in extracellular fluid, increased cardiac output, blood pressure rise. Therefore, hypertensive patients should limit the intake of salt. 5, spicy and fine food: spicy and fine food can make the stool dry and difficult to discharge, easy to cause constipation, patients defecate, will make the abdominal pressure rises, blood pressure rises suddenly, inducing cerebral hemorrhage, so hypertensive patients are prohibited spicy and fine food. 6, animal protein: hypertension patients should limit or prohibit the intake of animal protein (such as animal liver, eggs), because the protein metabolism produces harmful substances, can cause blood pressure fluctuations. The usual diet can be used high raw material price of high-quality protein, such as fish, milk, etc.. Certain proteins (such as amino acid, tyrosine, etc.) have a hypotensive effect. 7, high-calorie food: high-calorie food (glucose, sucrose, chocolate, etc.) can induce obesity, obese people have a higher incidence of hypertension than normal weight people. Hypertensive patients are mostly combined with overweight or obese. Therefore, patients with this disease should limit the diet of high-calorie foods. Note 4: Take medication on time During the holiday season, it is often irregular to take medication on time, but hypertensive patients must pay attention to take medication on time and measure blood pressure frequently. If the blood pressure is not well controlled, adjust the medication appropriately according to the high and low blood pressure, and take some herbal medicines such as Danshen and Chuan Dou, which have the ability to activate blood circulation and resolve stasis. It is important to carry out appropriate activities. The elderly must pay attention to keep warm, especially at night to sleep more attention. Chen Xinmin reminded that during the Spring Festival, relatives and friends gather more, people with hypertension must pay attention to emotional control, entertainment activities should be appropriate, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, do not fatigue, to avoid the extreme joy of sadness. The best food for hypertensive patients during the holidays Beans: whether red beans, mung beans, soybeans, black beans, kidney beans, as long as the beans are rich in potassium, soy products in tofu is also rich in calcium and magnesium, therefore, tofu is hypertensive patients should eat food every day. Adults 200 to 300 grams / day is appropriate. And red beans, mung beans, kidney beans with rice, oats, millet, corn and other cereals made into five grains of rice, eight porridge, red bean soup, mung bean soup, etc., are very good. Edible mushrooms: In the United States, it is recommended that the public eat a little bit of edible mushrooms every day. This recommendation is very applicable to people with high blood pressure. Shiitake mushrooms and fungus are high in potassium, calcium and magnesium, in addition to a large number of other phytochemicals and dietary fiber, all of which are needed by people with high blood pressure. Green leafy vegetables: Many friends with high blood pressure have the experience that eating celery has a very good dietary effect on lowering blood pressure, because both potassium, calcium and magnesium are in green leafy vegetables, and celery is indeed a typical representative of green leafy vegetables for lowering blood pressure. Usually the darker the green vegetables, the higher the content of potassium, calcium and magnesium, the same vegetable, the leaves are darker than the stem, naturally the active ingredient content is also higher, eat celery must be eaten together with the leaves. Magnesium: a recent study found that the dietary intake of magnesium and blood pressure levels are negatively correlated, that is, the more magnesium intake, the lower the blood pressure drop. Eat more potatoes: even a small potato, also contains a lot of potassium, in which the digitonin more can make blood pressure lower, tomatoes also contain a small amount of digitonin. Eat more celery: long-term eating celery can make the smooth muscle relaxation of blood vessels, vasodilation, and thus regulate blood pressure. Eat more fish: fish is the first choice, because epidemiological surveys have found that eating fish once a week without fish, heart disease mortality rate is low. Salmon, tuna, herring, mackerel, and flounder are rich in omega-3 fatty acids that help lower blood pressure, namely DHA and EPA.
