1. High-calorie foods

Foods with too high calories can easily make people gain weight and become obese, and people who are too fat are more likely to induce high blood pressure. And if your blood pressure is relatively high and you eat more high-calorie foods, your blood pressure will fluctuate even more, or it will never come down, making your condition worse. Therefore, patients with hypertension should try to stay away from high-calorie foods in their daily diet.

2. High-fat foods

Excessive intake of these foods will not only increase blood pressure, but also increase blood lipids and weight, thereby aggravating the condition of hypertension. Therefore, meat, fat, fried and fried foods are not suitable for patients with high blood pressure. In addition, in order to control fat intake, you should eat as little animal offal as possible, and try not to consume animal oil when cooking.

3. High-salt foods

One of the main factors that increases blood pressure is long-term excessive intake of salt, so controlling salt intake will help lower blood pressure. It is recommended to eat a light diet and eat as little pickles, bacon and other foods as possible.

Patients with high blood pressure should avoid the following foods in their diet. First, avoid foods containing sodium, especially salt, pickled products, monosodium glutamate and sodium nitrite containing preservative coloring. Second, avoid foods with high fat and cholesterol, such as animal offal and fat. Because the first type of food can directly increase blood pressure, eat as little as possible and limit salt to less than 6 grams per day. The second type of food, which can affect blood vessel elasticity, should not exceed 25% of the total energy per day. It’s taboo but you can’t skip it, you just have to eat less than normal people. Because various foods contain special nutrients necessary for the human body.

Of course, patients with high blood pressure can eat beef, but like normal people, the total energy cannot exceed 15. Beef has relatively high protein content and low fat content, so it is good to eat it in moderation.

In addition, patients with high blood pressure should excrete sodium and increase potassium, and eat more foods rich in potassium. In addition, if high blood pressure is combined with high blood homocysteine, folic acid supplementation is also required. Because folic acid can reduce blood homocysteine ??levels, and high blood homocysteine ??will significantly increase the risk of coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Since Chinese residents mostly like cooked food, including vegetables, folic acid deficiency is a relatively common phenomenon. Therefore, in daily life, patients with high blood pressure can consciously eat more foods rich in folic acid, such as spinach, tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, cherries, bananas, etc.
