What should hypertensive patients pay attention to in diet?
Patients with hypertension must pay more attention to their diet and try to be light, in which salt intake plays a great role, and eating less salt is the most critical. Then, besides eating less salt, you can eat more pineapple, because pineapple is rich in protein, sugar and ascorbic acid. These have an auxiliary effect on the blood circulation of patients with hypertension. In addition, pineapple also has the functions of strengthening the spleen to quench thirst, eliminating dampness and reducing swelling. The sugar, salt and enzyme contained in pineapple have diuretic effect, and proper consumption is beneficial to patients with hypertension.
In addition to pineapple, patients with hypertension can also eat more fruits that can lower blood pressure, such as apples, hawthorn, oranges, melons, watermelons, bananas, persimmons and other fruits.
How to choose and eat pineapple?
When we choose a pineapple, we hold it in our hands to see if it is firm and full, whether the skin is blue, whether there are scratches, bumps and abrasions on the skin, and ask it if it has fresh fruit fragrance with our noses. If all these are available, it proves that this is a mature and delicious pineapple.
When picking, you can cut it with a knife. Generally, pineapple with good appearance will be light yellow inside, and pineapple with thick pulp and small pineapple core is the best. However, the pulp of immature pineapple is crisp, hard and white.
You can also gently press the pineapple with your hand. Raw pineapples generally feel hard and inelastic. Mature and delicious pineapple usually feels very strong with a little Microsoft. If we press the pineapple with our hands and the juice overflows, we'd better not buy it. Maybe the pulp inside has gone bad.
In addition to the above methods of holding, cutting and pressing, you can also identify the maturity of pineapple by smelling it. Generally, pineapples with good maturity can smell the fragrance of pineapples only from the peel, and the pineapple pulp after cutting will also have fragrance.
After eating meat or greasy food, eating pineapple is good for your health. "Pineapple Goo Old Meat" and "Pineapple Beef" are both safe dishes to eat.
