First, the diet should be light: Vegetarianism is advocated, and vegetarianism can reduce the blood pressure of patients with hypertension. Therefore, patients with hypertension diet should be light, high vitamin, high fiber, high calcium, low fat, low cholesterol diet. Total fat is less than 30% of total calories, and protein accounts for about 15% of total calories.

Second, reduce the amount of salt: eating too much sodium salt is a pathogenic factor of hypertension, and controlling sodium salt intake is conducive to reducing and stabilizing blood pressure. Clinical trials have shown that for patients with hypertension, the daily salt consumption is reduced from 10.5G to 4.7-5.8g, which can reduce the systolic blood pressure by 4-6mmhg on average.

Third, quit smoking and alcohol: smoking and alcohol are the risk factors of hypertension. Smoking and alcohol can increase the possibility of hypertension complicated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
