Patients with high blood pressure are not recommended to eat squash, because the salt content of squash as well as other excipients is relatively high, especially the increase in salt content, which can easily lead to the retention of sodium and water in the body, thus promoting the rise of blood pressure. The nitrite content of the squash itself is also relatively high requirements, the increase in nitrite content intake will also have the potential to cause cancer, so for people with high blood pressure try not to eat squash, in ordinary life like squash and other salted vegetables are not recommended. The recommended daily sodium intake for people with high blood pressure should be less than 5g, and eating pickled vegetables will greatly increase the salt intake. At present, the salt intake of the population in the north of China is about 12g per day, far more than the amount recommended by the World Health Organization, so people with high blood pressure must pay attention to eat less or prohibit the consumption of pickled vegetables.
