Let's take a look at a set of data from Cardiovascular Disease Network:
The prevalence of hypertension in China is on the rise. Stroke is a major disease that threatens the health of our people, and its incidence rate is five times that of coronary heart disease. Therefore, the focus of cardiovascular disease prevention in China is to prevent stroke. The main risk factor of stroke is hypertension, and actively controlling hypertension is an important measure to prevent stroke.
The survey shows that high energy, high fat and low physical activity are closely related to overweight, obesity, diabetes and dyslipidemia, high salt diet is closely related to hypertension, and drinking is closely related to hypertension and dyslipidemia. People who eat more fat and have less physical activity are more likely to suffer from these chronic diseases.
The focus of hypertension treatment is prevention, and the focus of prevention is to adjust the diet structure, so I will share with you the diet adjustment of hypertension today;
Excessive salt intake will raise blood pressure, full meals and sweets will make people fat, and obesity will also raise blood pressure. In the diet of patients with hypertension, we should ensure enough calories, fat and necessary protein, but not excessive. Eat more foods with high protein content, such as beans and bean products, egg white, lean meat of cattle, sheep and pigs, fish and chicken. Try to eat less or not to eat animal viscera, because animal viscera is rich in cholesterol, which is easy to raise blood lipids. Advocate eating more fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables are rich in cellulose, which can also prevent constipation for the elderly. All kinds of vegetables and fruits are rich in imitation vitamin C, which can regulate cholesterol metabolism, control the process of arteriosclerosis and lower blood pressure.
The average daily salt (including sodium converted into salt contained in all foods) of China people on a low-salt diet is 7-20g, which is significantly higher than the recommended amount of the World Health Organization (the daily salt intake per person is below 6g). The main reasons are as follows:
1) People don't know enough about hypertension caused by eating a lot of salt;
2) Condiments with high salt content (such as soy sauce, yellow sauce and bean paste). ) is added when cooking;
3) China's dietary structure is characterized by less non-staple food and more staple food, so non-staple food needs more salt to enter the staple food;
4) Due to the influence of long-term tradition, people like to eat salt products, thus forming the habit of loving salt in the crowd. There is a dose-effect relationship between sodium intake and blood pressure.
Most people can tolerate moderate intake of sodium salt (5-6g).
For people with normal blood pressure, a low-salt diet can prevent hypertension.
Low-salt diet has no effect on the intake of important nutrients and exercise tolerance in hot environment.
Restricting the intake of sodium salt can not only lower blood pressure, but also reduce the dosage of drugs, thus reducing the adverse reactions of drugs.
Generally speaking, people consume about 2.5-4.5 grams of salt from food every day. If the daily salt amount is controlled below 6 grams, the extra salt amount should be less than 2-3 grams when cooking and eating.
In daily life, it is of great significance to correctly estimate the amount of salt. A flat spoon of salt for porcelain spoon is about 18g, a flat spoon of soy sauce for porcelain spoon is equivalent to 3g, a flat spoon of salt for coffee spoon is 3g, and a pinch of salt (three fingers) is about 2-3g. Patients can apply it according to their own needs and possible situations.
Restricting sodium intake by supplementing potassium, magnesium and calcium may increase potassium intake and reduce potassium excretion by reducing the use of diuretics, thus increasing the amount of potassium in the body.
Foods with high potassium content include soybeans, adzuki beans, mung beans, tofu, potatoes, kohlrabi, peanuts, kelp, laver and bananas.
Potassium additives can lower blood pressure.
Compared with those with normal blood pressure, patients with hypertension have decreased calcium intake and increased urine excretion.
Studies have shown that daily calcium supplementation 1-2g can lower blood pressure. Elderly hypertensive patients have relatively poor response to calcium supplementation.
In daily life, we should pay special attention to the fact that hypertensive patients reduce their intake of milk and cheese in order to reduce their intake of saturated fatty acids and sodium, thus inadvertently reducing their intake of calcium.
Drinking 1-2 cups of milk before going to bed every night is helpful to lower blood pressure and prevent osteoporosis.
