High blood pressure diet, just pay attention to these 3 points! You can eat with confidence! Eat whatever you want!
No matter whether they are in the outpatient department or the inpatient department, they all have a characteristic, that is, they like to ask: what can and cannot eat in the future? What to eat in the future is good for this disease? What to eat is not good for this disease?
It is human nature, after all, we need three meals a day, and no one can do without eating; not to mention the current three highs and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are closely related to eating. It can even be said that many people eat wrongly which leads to obesity, three highs, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
So, as a cardiovascular disease, the incidence rate is the highest, and the hypertension with the largest population in China, what can you not eat?
Every time a friend with high blood pressure asks me what are the taboos for high blood pressure?
I will ask: what food allergies? Do not eat if you are allergic. If you don't have allergies, there is no food you can't eat.
For friends with high blood pressure, there is no absolute taboo food.
So high blood pressure diet can be unscrupulous? of course not!
I started to say that the three highs and cardiovascular diseases are closely related to diet. There are no absolute taboos, but it doesn't mean that you don't pay attention to diet.
For people with high blood pressure, the most important thing in the diet is salt!
- Less salt and less salt is the key:
On April 27, the results of the Shandong Salt Reduction Project were published. The study showed that after 5 years of intervention in the Salt Reduction Project, the average 24-hour urinary sodium excretion of Shandong adults decreased by 25%, and the average urinary potassium excretion increased by 15%. , That is to say, the sodium salt eaten has decreased and the potassium salt has increased. After the intervention, the average systolic blood pressure of the population dropped from 131.8 to 130, a drop of 1.8 mmHg, and the diastolic blood pressure dropped from 83.9 to 80.8, a drop of 3.1 mmHg. Research shows that if the Shandong Salt Reduction Project is successful, 6,700 people will be prevented from dying of cardiovascular disease every year.
Studies have shown that if 3g of salt can be reduced, blood pressure may drop by 4-5mmHg in the long run; at present, most people in China eat more than 10g of salt, or even more, and more people in the north. However, the standard for healthy salt consumption is less than 6g per person per day. Most of us far exceed the standard, so if high blood pressure has any requirements for eating, it is to try to reduce salt as much as possible.
Of course, salt is not only sodium chloride in white sand stir-fried dishes, but also includes sauced tofu, fermented bean curd, pickles, soy sauce, pickled, marinated, smoked products, kimchi, sauced beef, ham sausage, roast duck, etc. food.
- Forbidden wine:
In addition to low salt, another diet-related factor is drinking; long-term drinking can cause blood pressure to rise, and the more you drink, the more your blood pressure rises. Therefore, if drinking alcohol is included in the diet, then there are really taboos in the diet of people with high blood pressure, that is, drinking alcohol is taboo.
- Low oil, low sugar and less refined grains:
In all cardiovascular science popularization, when it comes to diet, we must talk about low-salt, low-oil, and low-sugar; when salt has an impact on blood pressure. Although high-fat, high-sugar, and high-fine grains have no direct impact on blood pressure, this unhealthy diet will aggravate the risks of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis. Hypertension and these diseases are inextricably linked. Therefore, in addition to low salt, do not drink alcohol for high blood pressure, try to use low oil, low sugar and fine grains.
In general, the diet for high blood pressure is to reduce salt to less than 6g as much as possible, and eat less fatty, fried, red meat, animal offal, etc., gradually reduce the proportion of white flour and white rice; increase the proportion of coarse grains; Eat more vegetables and fruits, mainly poultry and fish as meat, and supplement eggs, milk, nuts, etc. appropriately.
None of these foods are absolutely unavoidable, even fatty and fried foods can be eaten occasionally, as long as they are not excessive.
Therefore, if high blood pressure is said to be an absolute taboo, it is taboo to drink alcohol; strictly control salt; there are no specific food requirements, as long as the amount is controlled, enough is enough, the proportion is emphasized, and the food is diversified, it is more conducive to blood pressure control and cardiovascular disease. prevention!
