Moreover, during the period of taking antihypertensive drugs, the diet and routine of hypertensive patients also need special attention to achieve the best effect of antihypertensive drugs. Therefore, for people who need to take antihypertensive drugs for a long time, they must keep their mouths shut during the medication. It is best to eat less of these three vegetarian foods.
1. Artemisia selengensis
Artemisia selengensis, also known as Artemisia selengensis, is an edible herb. The roots and leaves of Artemisia selengensis are edible, and it is a very delicious dish whether it is cold or stir-fried. Not only that, according to historical records, the roots of Artemisia selengensis also have high medicinal value, which can be used to treat many diseases such as spleen and stomach weakness, edema, puffer fish poisoning and so on.
In addition, it also has a good effect on inhibiting liver fire, preventing constipation and throat diseases. Although Artemisia argyi is nutritious and practical, it is not suitable for hypertensive patients who need to take antihypertensive drugs for a long time. This is mainly because Artemisia selengensis is not only rich in protein, vitamins, carotene and other nutrients, but also contains a lot of sodium ions. If hypertensive patients often eat this kind of food during taking medicine, it is likely to reduce the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs, leading to a continuous increase in blood pressure and endangering the health of patients.
2. Pickled sauerkraut
Pickled sauerkraut is also a very delicious home cooking. For many families in rural areas of China, sauerkraut is a necessary dish for families. Especially for the elderly, pickled sauerkraut is deeply loved by them. People who like to eat sauerkraut should know that pickled sauerkraut is mainly pickled with a lot of salt, and the salt often contains a lot of sodium ions, so for hypertensive patients, during taking antihypertensive drugs, try to eat less of this hydrochloric acid dish to avoid a lot of sodium ions entering the body, thus affecting blood pressure in the body.
3. Pepper
For people in most parts of our country, they have a habit of eating Chili peppers for a long time, especially the residents in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing, who are even less happy in their diet. Eating pepper properly can stimulate our taste buds, increase appetite, stimulate blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation and sweat secretion, and promote the excretion of toxins in the body. However, for hypertensive patients who need to take antihypertensive drugs, because pepper contains a lot of irritating substances, it may have a certain impact on the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs, so it is best for hypertensive patients to keep their mouths shut and eat less pepper during taking antihypertensive drugs.
Although hypertension is a chronic disease, it will not cause fatal harm to the body immediately. However, if blood pressure is not controlled on weekdays, it is still easy to induce a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, endangering life safety.
