Hypertension is a common chronic disease in China, and the prevalence is gradually increasing every year. Since hypertension cannot be cured, it requires not only long-term medication, but also dietary control. So what are the contraindications in the diet of hypertensive patients? Alcohol consumption can make the heart rate increase, vasoconstriction, blood pressure, but also to promote calcium salts, cholesterol and other deposits in the blood vessel wall, accelerating atherosclerosis. Large amounts and long-term alcohol consumption are more likely to induce atherosclerosis and aggravate hypertension. Therefore, hypertensive patients should abstain from alcohol. 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 discomforts, so that blood pressure rises. And drink light green tea is conducive to the treatment of hypertension. Dog meat Although there are many causes of hypertension, most of them are of the nature of Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity. Dog meat warms the kidneys and helps Yang, which can aggravate the condition of Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity type hypertension. For other types of hypertension, such as kidney yang, deficiency yang, phlegm and fire, stasis of blood, etc., eating dog meat may agitate floating yang or aggravate phlegm and fire or help fire and dry blood, which are all unfavorable to the condition and should not be consumed. More salt The main component of salt is sodium chloride, sodium slippage can cause an increase in extracellular fluid, increased cardiac output and increased blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should limit the intake of salt. Spicy and fine foods Spicy and fine foods can make the stool dry and difficult to defecate, easily lead to constipation, patients defecate, it will make the abdominal pressure rise, blood pressure rises suddenly, inducing cerebral hemorrhage, so hypertensive patients are prohibited spicy and fine foods. Animal protein Hypertensive patients should limit or prohibit the intake of animal protein (such as animal liver, eggs), because the metabolism of protein produces harmful substances that can cause blood pressure fluctuations. The usual diet can use high quality protein with high biomass, such as fish, milk, etc. Certain proteins (such as amino acid, tyrosine, etc.) have a hypotensive effect. High-calorie foods High-calorie foods (glucose, sucrose, chocolate, etc.) can induce obesity, and the incidence of hypertension is higher in obese people than in normal-weight people. Patients with hypertension are mostly combined with overweight or obesity. Therefore, the diet of patients with this disease should be limited to high-calorie foods. Once again, we remind you that the above is the diet of hypertensive people forbidden area, suffering from hypertension, must develop good eating habits.
