What does old person have hypertension to eat good

First: eat less animal fat. Animal fat cholesterol content is high, can accelerate arteriosclerosis. Such as liver, brain, heart should eat less.

Second: eat less sweets. Sweets are high in sugar and can be converted into fat in the body, which can easily promote obesity and arteriosclerosis.

Third: drinking alcohol can make heart rate increase, blood vessel contraction, blood pressure rise, also can promote calcium salt, cholesterol deposition in the vascular wall, accelerate arteriosclerosis. A large number of long-term drinking, more likely to induce arteriosclerosis, aggravating hypertension. Therefore, patients with hypertension should abstain from alcohol.

matters needing attention

This is about what the elderly people eat with high blood pressure. We also need to pay attention to salt restriction. Some investigations have shown that excessive consumption of sodium salt can cause vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure. Therefore, salt intake is positively correlated with the incidence rate of hypertension, and the incidence rate of hypertension is significantly higher in areas where salt consumption is large. Therefore, for those with mild hypertension or family history of hypertension, the salt intake should be controlled below 5g per day. For those with high blood pressure or heart failure, the salt intake should be more strictly limited, and the daily salt consumption should be 1-2g. This is a common dietary contraindication for hypertension.
