1. Drinking 200 ml of warm water every morning can replenish the water lost at night, help the sodium chloride eaten the night before to be excreted quickly, and prevent hypertension.
2. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as vegetables and fruits. Dietary fiber can reduce the absorption of fat and cholesterol, lower blood lipid and blood pressure, and relieve constipation, thus avoiding cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents caused by forced defecation due to constipation.
3. Eat more foods rich in minerals such as potassium, calcium and iron. Foods rich in potassium, such as rape, banana, jujube, mushroom, walnut, potato, etc. When the human body is short of iron, the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells decreases, which leads to hypoxia in the body, increases the burden on the heart, increases the contractility of the heart, and leads to an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should eat more iron-rich foods, such as fungus, peas, spinach, etc., which will help control blood pressure. Calcium also helps to stabilize blood pressure, so eat more foods rich in calcium, such as milk, bean products, sesame seeds, seaweed, fish and shrimp.
4. Controlling the total daily intake and supplementing foods rich in high-quality protein, such as skim milk, eggs, bean products and lean meat, can improve the elasticity of blood vessels, reduce the occurrence of arteriosclerosis and help stabilize blood pressure.
5. Patients with hypertension should not eat pickled vegetables, pickles, salted duck eggs, ham and other pickled foods. And limit the daily salt intake to 3 ~ 5 grams.
6. Limit high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as animal offal, fat, fried foods, butter and other high-fat foods. Excessive intake will lead to increased fat content, elevated blood lipids, sticky blood, accelerated atherosclerosis and elevated blood pressure.
