First, eat less salt, and controlling salt is the foundation.
Eating too much salt is recognized as the chief culprit of hypertension in the world. Among the 300 million hypertensive people in China, 60% are sensitive to salt. If these people are exposed to too much salt, they are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than others. Therefore, to prevent hypertension, we must pay attention to the appropriate amount of edible salt. If you have high blood pressure, you should eat less salt. Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in potassium. Cardiovascular doctors advise hypertensive patients to eat at least one catty of vegetables and two or three fruits every day. For example, amaranth, eggplant, spinach, tomatoes, fruits, bananas, oranges, persimmons and other dark vegetables are all beneficial to supplement potassium. Some patients with hypertension suffer from diabetes. Under the condition of good blood sugar control, you can choose apples, kiwis, grapefruit and other fruits with low blood sugar.
Calcium supplementation is not only helpful for bone growth, but also an assistant for lowering blood pressure. Because dietary calcium deficiency is easy to induce high blood pressure. Patients with hypertension are advised to supplement calcium from dairy products and dairy products, and some patients need to consider taking calcium tablets.
Second, often eat crude fiber food.
Take 20-35 grams of crude fiber every day. Crude fiber food has four benefits for hypertension, one is to promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation, and the other is to reduce postprandial blood sugar, which is helpful to control diabetes. The third is to reduce cholesterol in the blood and prevent hyperlipidemia. Fourth, control your weight by losing weight.
Third, improve the quality of protein.
If hypertension requires not to eat high-fat foods such as fat and butter, it will aggravate the deterioration of blood pressure and make blood vessels and arteries tend to atherosclerosis. But we still need high-quality protein, such as milk, fish, eggs and bean products, which are all suitable for controlling blood pressure.
