Consumption of salted vegetables can lead to excessive salt intake, which can cause small arteries to spasm, increase blood pressure, and contribute to the acceleration of the process of small renal artery sclerosis. At the same time, it is also easy to cause edema due to water and sodium retention. 2, chili peppers Some studies have found that the capsaicin in chili peppers has a hypotensive effect, but excessive consumption often leads to constipation, patients defecate when the abdominal pressure rises, which can easily cause a sudden rise in blood pressure, resulting in brain hemorrhage and other dangerous consequences. Therefore, it is recommended that hypertensive patients eat peppers in moderation. 3, potatoes Because potatoes contain high starch, often eaten as a staple food in foreign countries, while our population often eat potatoes as a vegetable, if too much intake, will lead to an increase in total calories and increase weight, so it is not advisable to consume too much. 4, kelp kelp belongs to the seaweed food, the sodium content is also high, it is recommended to repeatedly soak in water before consumption, less salt and soy sauce when cooking, and pay attention to the amount of consumption should not be too much. 5, fennel The sodium content of fennel is very high, according to the table of dietary nutrients, per 100 grams of fennel, the sodium content is as high as 186.3 mg, is the highest sodium content of vegetables, compared to the sodium content of winter squash is only 1.8 mg.
