Hypertension is a common and frequent clinical disease, and most patients with hypertension need to take medication for life. While insisting on taking antihypertensive drugs, if you can arrange your daily diet, it will help to control blood pressure and reduce the occurrence of complications. Low salt The average daily amount of salt should be controlled at less than 6g, and the amount of salt should also be subtracted from the amount of soy sauce used for cooking, 3ml of soy sauce is equivalent to 1g of salt. Like salted (sauce) vegetables, curd, salted meat (eggs), pickled products, clams and shellfish, shrimp, eggs and vegetables such as coronary artemisia, hollow cabbage contain high sodium. Should be eaten as little as possible or not. High potassium foods rich in potassium can resist the effects of sodium-induced pressure and vascular damage. Such foods include beans, mushrooms, black dates, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, potatoes, bamboo shoots, lean meat, fish, poultry, root vegetables such as amaranth, rape and onions, fruits such as bananas, dates, peaches, oranges, etc. Eat fish Epidemiological surveys have found that those who eat fish once a week have a significantly lower mortality rate from heart disease than those who do not eat fish. Calcium supplementation Some people let hypertensive patients take 1 gram of calcium a day, 8 weeks later found that blood pressure dropped. Therefore, you should eat more calcium-rich foods. Such as soybeans, sunflower seeds, walnuts, milk, peanuts, fish and shrimp, red dates, fresh potherb mustard, garlic seeds, purple cabbage, etc. Iron supplementation Research has found that elderly patients with hypertension have lower plasma iron than normal people, so eating more peas, fungus and other iron-rich foods can not only lower blood pressure, but also prevent senile anemia. Quit smoking and alcohol The nicotine in cigarettes can cause blood pressure to rise due to vasoconstriction and increase heart rate, smoking can also increase adrenaline secretion, thus contributing to the occurrence of atherosclerosis, which is not conducive to the prevention and treatment of hypertension; drinking alcohol can stimulate the nervous system and disrupt lipid metabolism, promote cholesterol synthesis and increase, drinking alcohol can also increase the resistance to taking antihypertensive drugs. Three meals Eat low-calorie food, 150~ 250g of staple food per day, 50% of animal protein and 50% of vegetable protein each. Patients with hypertension without kidney disease and gout disease can eat more soybeans, peanuts, black fungus and fruits. Dinner should be small and light, too much greasy food can induce stroke. The edible oil should use vegetarian oil containing vitamin E and linoleic acid, and do not eat sweet food. Eat more high-fiber foods, such as bamboo shoots, bok choy, cabbage, winter melon, tomatoes, eggplant, bean sprouts, kelp, onions and small amounts of fish, shrimp, skim milk powder, egg whites, etc.
