1. The importance of diet for hypertension: food is the most important thing for people. A reasonable diet can make you neither fat nor thin, and your cholesterol is neither high nor low. 2. Diet taboos for patients with hypertension: ① Carbohydrate food: suitable food-rice, porridge, noodles, noodles, Ge Fen, soup, taro and soft beans. Foods that should be avoided-sweet potatoes (food that produces abdominal qi), dried beans, and biscuits with strong flavor. (2) protein food-beef, lean pork, white meat fish, eggs, milk, dairy products (fresh cream, yeast milk, ice cream, cheese), soybean products (tofu, natto, soybean powder, oily tofu) should be avoided-fatty foods (pork belly, pork ribs, whales, herring of cattle and pigs). Foods that should be avoided in salad dressing-animal oil, pig oil, bacon, sardines soaked in oil ④ Vitamins and mineral foods-vegetables (spinach, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, lily roots, pumpkins, eggplant and cucumbers) fruits (apples, oranges, pears, grapes and watermelons), seaweeds and fungi should be cooked before eating. Foods to avoid-vegetables with hard fiber (burdock, bamboo shoots, beans) and vegetables with strong irritation (spicy vegetables, coriander, mustard greens, onions, mustard greens) ⑤ Other foods suitable for food-light fragrant tea, yeast milk drinks-spices (peppers, curry powder), alcoholic drinks, and salt. Coffee 3 Dietary habits that hypertensive patients should pay attention to ① First of all, we should control the energy intake, advocate eating complex sugars, such as starch, corn, and eat less glucose, fructose and sucrose. These sugars are monosaccharides, which are easy to cause blood lipids to rise. ② Limit the intake of fat. When cooking, choose vegetable oil, you can eat more marine fish. Marine fish contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can oxidize cholesterol, thereby reducing plasma cholesterol, prolong platelet aggregation, inhibit thrombosis, prevent stroke, and contain more linoleic acid, which has a certain effect on increasing the elasticity of microvessels, preventing vascular rupture and preventing hypertension complications. ③ Appropriate intake of protein. The daily protein of patients with hypertension should be per kilogram of body weight1g. Eating fish protein 2-3 times a week can improve blood vessel elasticity and permeability, increase urine sodium excretion, and thus lower blood pressure. If hypertension is complicated with renal insufficiency, the intake of protein should be limited. ④ Eat more foods rich in potassium and calcium but low in sodium, such as potatoes, eggplant, kelp and lettuce. Foods with high calcium content: milk, yogurt, shrimp skin. Eat less broth, because the increase of nitrogen-containing extract in broth can promote the increase of uric acid in the body and increase the burden on the heart, liver and kidney. ⑤ Limit the salt intake: it should be gradually reduced to less than 6g every day, that is, after the rubber pad is removed from the ordinary beer lid, the salt in a flat lid is about 6g. This amount refers to the amount of salt, including the total amount of sodium converted into salt in cooking salt and other foods. Proper reduction of sodium intake is helpful to lower blood pressure and reduce sodium and water retention in the body. 6. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat no less than 8 Liang of fresh vegetables and 2 to 4 Liang of fruits every day. ⑦ Appropriately increase the intake of seafood: such as kelp, laver, seafood fish, etc.
