People with hypertension should control the intake of staple food and fat, and try to use less or no high-calorie foods such as sweets and snacks, sweet drinks and fried foods. Reduce the amount of salt used in cooking, and try to eat less pickled foods such as pickles, especially animal offal and first-class animals (high cholesterol). Food will become very light, very light, even very light. Eat more vegetables and fruits, especially dark vegetables, seafood and fish.
First, steamed fish with tofu.
Materials: One marine fish (grass carp, mullet, crucian carp, etc.). ), tofu 150g, lean meat 30g, a little black fungus.

Cooking method: Mix minced meat with a little soy sauce, salt, Jiang Mo, sesame oil and auricularia auricula, then put it in the belly of fish, and then put the fish on the plate (ginger slices and onion knots should be put on the bottom of the plate first). Put the tofu on it, sprinkle some salt, pour some vinegar, steam for six minutes, turn off the fire, don't open the lid, don't take the fish out of the pot, steam it for eight minutes with the remaining temperature in the pot, then take it out immediately, and take out the onion knots and ginger slices at the bottom of the plate, and serve.
Analysis of nutrition and health care of this dish: Fish contains two kinds of unsaturated fatty acids urgently needed by human body, namely docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). These two unsaturated fatty acids can clean and soften blood vessels, lower cholesterol, and inhibit hypertension, myocardial infarction and arteriosclerosis, which is extremely beneficial for hypertensive patients to eat fish frequently. Bean products are rich in magnesium, and fish and tofu can complement each other in protein. Auricularia auricula can also reduce the viscosity of blood. Therefore, mixing these raw materials and cooking with low fat is an ideal recipe for patients with hypertension.
Second, lowering blood pressure and six meat elements.
Ingredients: 30g lean meat, 50g potato, 50g eggplant, 50g kelp, 50g bean curd skin and vegetables 100g.
Seasoning: vegetable oil, a little salt, monosodium glutamate.
Primary processing: cutting lean meat into powder; Slice the potatoes, put them in a boiling pot, blanch them until they are 80% ripe, and then take them out. Wash eggplant, kelp and tofu skin and cut into pieces; Cut vegetables.
Cooking method: put a little vegetable oil in the pot (as long as it doesn't stick to the pot), stir-fry the minced meat, add eggplant, vegetables, potatoes and kelp slices immediately after the minced meat turns white, add salt, add a little water, then add tofu skin, roll a few times, and put monosodium glutamate in the pot.
Analysis of this dish: This dish is rich in nutrition because of its combination of meat and vegetables. Potatoes, eggplant and kelp are rich in potassium and calcium and low in sodium, which are beneficial to patients with hypertension. Bean products such as green vegetables and bean curd skin are rich in magnesium, which can lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.
Cooking points: potato chips must be cooked to 80% maturity before they can be fried with other vegetables, otherwise the potato chips will not be cooked easily. Vegetable oils such as soybean oil, peanut oil and sunflower oil should be used as edible oil. The oil used in this dish is to avoid sticking to the pan, and the amount of oil should be as small as possible. Add vegetables and stir fry in turn: eggplant, vegetables, potatoes and kelp slices and stir fry.
Special reminder: If hypertension is complicated with renal insufficiency, the intake of protein should be limited, and the intake of sodium salt should be reduced appropriately, which will help to lower blood pressure and reduce the retention of sodium and water in the body.
