1. Drink more water

In patients with hyperlipidemia, blood viscosity increases and blood flow slows down, which promotes local deposition of platelets and easily forms thrombus. Drinking more water can help dilute the blood, reduce blood viscosity, and maintain smooth blood circulation in the body.

2. Eat more calcium-containing foods

Patients with hypertension who insist on eating high-calcium foods every day can have obvious blood pressure-lowering effects. Foods containing calcium include dairy products, soy products, peanuts, red dates, kelp, black fungus, walnuts, fish, etc.

3. Eat more potassium-containing foods

Potassium in the body can alleviate the harmful effects of sodium, promote the excretion of sodium, and lower blood pressure. Foods containing potassium include beans, tomatoes, dairy products, kelp, fresh mushrooms and various green leafy vegetables. Fruits include oranges, apples, bananas, pears, pineapples, kiwis, walnuts, hawthorns, watermelons, etc.

Notes

1. High-calorie foods can induce obesity. The incidence of hypertension in obese people is higher than that in people with normal weight. Patients with hypertension are often overweight or obese. Therefore, patients with this disease should limit high-calorie foods in their diet.

2. Drinking alcohol can increase the heart rate, constrict blood vessels, and increase blood pressure. It can also promote the deposition of calcium salts, cholesterol, etc. on the blood vessel walls, accelerating arteriosclerosis. Heavy, long-term drinking is more likely to induce arteriosclerosis and aggravate high blood pressure.

3. Patients with hypertension should avoid drinking strong tea, especially strong black tea. Because black tea contains the highest level of theophylline, it can cause discomfort such as brain excitement, restlessness, insomnia, and heart palpitations, thereby increasing blood pressure.
