Does fish scale really help to treat hypertension?
? As we all know, it is natural that we usually treat fish scales before eating them. But in fact, fish scales are rich in protein, fat and vitamins, as well as iron, zinc, calcium, various essential trace elements and colloid. In addition, fish scales also contain a variety of unsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce the accumulation of cholesterol on the blood vessel wall and prevent arteriosclerosis and hypertension. Therefore, eating more fish scales can actually be called a small "folk prescription" for adjuvant treatment of hypertension.

So how should the specific fish scales be eaten? Bian Xiao recommended that the fish scale be made into fish scale jelly. Let's take a look at the specific practice!

First, we need to wash the fish scales with clean water and drain them as much as possible. Then put the cleaned fish scales into a pressure cooker, and you can add an appropriate amount of white vinegar to remove the fishy smell of the fish scales. Then add the right amount of water to the pressure cooker. Under normal circumstances, about 800 grams of water is needed for every 500 grams of fish scales. After the water is added, boil over high heat for 10 minute, and then turn to low heat for about 20 minutes. When you see that the fish scales are white and curly and the soup of the fish scales is mushy, you can turn off the fire.

? In addition, there are "antihypertensive drugs" on the dining table: "one skin, one heart, two black and two green": one skin refers to watermelon skin, and watermelon skin and cassia seed have the effect of lowering blood pressure. Heart refers to lotus plumule, and the plumule of lotus plumule has a good antihypertensive effect. Erhei refers to auricularia auricula and water chestnut. Auricularia auricula can indirectly lower blood pressure by improving blood vessels, and water chestnut has anticancer and blood pressure lowering effects. Qing Er refers to celery and spinach. Celery can relieve headache and head swelling caused by hypertension, and spinach is used as a medicinal food to treat hypertension and diabetes.

? Generally speaking, fish scales help to treat high blood pressure, and many common foods and vegetables on the table also have the effect of lowering blood pressure. However, it is worth mentioning that food can not replace drugs, but can only be used as an assistant to antihypertensive drugs, which plays the most basic role and has no immediate effect. Patients with hypertension should seek medical attention in time, take medicine according to the doctor's advice, pay attention to rest and sleep, and ensure good health.
