Old people have higher blood pressure. What should we pay more attention to in diet?

Keep a light diet, reduce the intake of salt, and don't eat pickled foods, such as bacon, sausages, fermented beans, etc. If you put soy sauce, soy sauce, oil consumption and other seasonings in cooking, don't put salt alone. Eat less dried noodles, instant noodles, etc. And the salt content is also high. Eating less spicy food may cause dry stool, lead to high blood pressure during defecation, and induce diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage.

Eat less cold food, such as cold drinks and iced watermelons. A large amount of cold food will cause reflex contraction of small blood vessels in the whole body, leading to an increase in blood pressure, which will seriously lead to coronary artery spasm and myocardial ischemia.

If you don't drink alcohol, drinking alcohol will lead to hypertension and vasoconstriction, and it will also promote the deposition of cholesterol and calcium salts on the blood vessel wall and accelerate arteriosclerosis. Smoking can lead to poor blood vessel elasticity.

Don't overeat. Overeating or overeating before going to bed can lead to obesity, which is also the main cause of hypertension.

Insist on taking medicine on time and in quantity. Some people think that stopping taking medicine when blood pressure drops will make blood pressure repeated and more difficult to control. Be sure to follow the doctor's advice. If you don't feel well, see a doctor in time. Don't stop taking drugs or increase or decrease the dosage without authorization.

It is better for elderly people with hypertension to eat spinach, tomatoes, bananas or kelp.

1, Spinach: Spinach contains many vitamins, trace elements and antioxidants, especially potassium, which plays a very important role in regulating blood pressure.

2. Tomatoes: Tomatoes are rich in lycopene and fiber. Elderly hypertensive patients can reduce blood pressure and blood lipid after eating.

3, bananas: potassium in bananas has a good antihypertensive effect, and elderly people with hypertension can eat bananas every day according to their physical condition.

4, kelp: after kelp enters the body, it can prevent fat from gradually depositing on the arterial wall, which is suitable for the elderly with hypertension. Patients can stew kelp and tofu together, which can achieve better antihypertensive effect.

Patients are advised to eat a low-salt diet, exercise more and rest more.
