What should hypertensive patients pay attention to in diet?

A low-fat diet is a principle that you must follow. People who like to eat animal fat will not only be obese, but also accelerate arteriosclerosis and increase blood pressure. Therefore, the same topic as lowering blood pressure and losing weight is to eat less animal fat. The specific method is not to fry the fat of pigs, cattle and sheep; Eat less meat, and fish can be used instead when you want to eat meat, because the fat contained in fish is unsaturated fat, which prevents acid and will not cause obesity and high blood pressure; Don't eat egg yolk, because it contains a lot of fat. You can refer to the appendix to choose your food type.

Diet should be light. As mentioned above, too much salt will increase high blood pressure, so there is no doubt that patients with high blood pressure should have a light diet. Every doctor will advise hypertensive patients to eat less salty food, and all hypertensive patients may have such an experience. When your blood pressure is too high to control, the doctor will give you some diuretics. The main function of diuretics is to reduce sodium in the body and produce antihypertensive effect. In that case, why don't we eat more salt and reduce the factors that raise blood pressure? Light diet is a good habit, but it needs an adaptation process, otherwise you will find that the diet is tasteless and difficult to swallow. The specific method is to eat vegetables instead of drinking vegetable soup, because most of the salt is dissolved in vegetable soup; Use other seasonings, such as ginger, garlic and vinegar, instead of salt; Eating breakfast in the morning is mostly salt-free, so if you can eat enough, you will naturally eat less at noon and at night, and your salt intake will also decrease; Use a small spoon to put salt when cooking, and put it while eating. Don't put enough with a big spoon at a time, which is easy to overdose; Do not eat cooked meat products with high salt content.

It is best to use skim milk when drinking milk regularly, because milk is rich in calcium, which helps to lower blood pressure.

Increasing the intake of dietary fiber is helpful to lower blood pressure.

Eat more vegetarian food. On the premise of low-fat diet, I hope you can eat vegetarian food as much as possible. Vegetarian food is rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium and a small amount of fat and cholesterol, which not only makes vegetarians less likely to cause high blood pressure, but also lowers blood pressure for patients who eat meat, so it is a diet that helps to control blood pressure.
