At the same time, we should seize the opportunity of "winter tonic" and choose the right food for food supplement. The general principle of hypertension diet is: low salt, low cholesterol, low calorie, but rich in vitamins and minerals. Usually, you should eat more foods that lower blood pressure and blood fat, such as garlic, celery, shepherd's purse, Malan, Zizania latifolia, sweet potato, carrot, tomato, fungus, kelp, lotus plumule, hawthorn, mushrooms, corn, laver, chrysanthemum and various fresh fruits. Patients can choose to use it according to their own tastes, cooking porridge, cooking rice or making soup and tea. Use vegetable oil in daily cooking and eat less animal oil, because vegetable oil contains a variety of unsaturated fatty acids, which can soften blood vessels and lower blood pressure and blood lipids, while animal oil contains cholesterol and fat, which is not conducive to lowering blood pressure. It is also inappropriate to eat old hens and foods with high cholesterol, such as fat, egg yolk, pig brain, sheep liver and eel. Usually, the diet should be light and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
Finally, solemnly warn patients with hypertension to pay attention to comprehensive treatment, three-point medication and seven-point conditioning. At ordinary times, we should be optimistic and open-minded, don't be irritable and nervous, take proper physical exercise with a certain intensity and get enough sleep. It is pointed out that ginseng, antler, astragalus and cistanche deserticola are not suitable for winter tonic, otherwise it will be harmful.
