What does hypertensive diet need to notice?

summary

Hypertension is a systemic metabolic disease and lifestyle related disease characterized by elevated blood pressure. In recent years, the incidence rate of hypertension in China is on the rise. Domestic and foreign experience shows that the most effective way to control hypertension is prevention and treatment. Adopting healthy lifestyle, especially diet therapy, can reduce the incidence rate of hypertension and reduce the complications of hypertension. So what should we pay attention to in our daily diet? Let's have a look.

What does hypertensive diet need to notice?

1. Light diet: vegetarian diet can reduce the blood pressure of patients with hypertension. Patients with hypertension should eat more coarse grains, coarse cereals, fresh vegetables and fruits, bean products, lean meat, fish, chicken and other food, less animal fat and greasy food, less sugar, strong tea, coffee and other stimulating food.

2. Limit salt intake: control sodium intake is conducive to reducing and stabilizing blood pressure. Reduce cooking salt in the diet. It is better to eat no more than 6G per person per day. Eat more foods rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium but low in sodium. Beans and soybean products such as tofu are rich in potassium. Edible fungi such as Lentinus edodes and Auricularia auricula are also rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium. The darker the color of green vegetables, the higher the content of potassium, calcium and magnesium. They are all very suitable for patients with hypertension.

3. Drink more strontium rich water: research shows that strontium and sodium are competitive absorption, reducing sodium absorption and increasing sodium excretion. Excessive sodium in human body is easy to cause hypertension, and strontium can reduce the absorption of sodium in human body and prevent cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. Drinking water is an important way for human body to absorb strontium. Natural mountain spring water with strontium content of 0.2mg/l is strontium water, while Taiji water with strontium content of 0.3-0.7ml/l is really rich in strontium water.
