But it is rare to hear people with hypertension say that they should control their diet. So hypertension, as one of the good friends of diabetes, doesn't need to control your diet? Of course not! Good friends fight together and ban meals together ~ The following is the red and black list of hypertension patients' diet, which is not as strict as diabetes, but it should be noted that the food on the black list is forbidden if it can be banned.
1, sodium salt
Excessive sodium intake will lead to sodium retention in the body and increase blood volume. At the same time, excessive sodium ions and water will run into the cells, which will expand the vascular smooth muscle cells and narrow the blood vessels. Increase the resistance of peripheral blood vessels, and eventually lead to an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, patients with hypertension must not eat too salty, and they can try to use potassium salt instead of sodium salt. At the same time, you should also eat lightly.
2. wine
Alcohol easily stimulates nerves, leading to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure; In addition, alcohol can stimulate blood vessels. When capillary permeability increases, hypertension patients will have blood pressure fluctuation and transient increase. If the blood pressure is in a state of high and low for a long time, the damage to blood vessels is enormous, so patients with hypertension can't drink alcohol.
3, greasy meat
Foods with high calorie, high fat and high cholesterol may cause blood lipids to rise continuously, leading to arteriosclerosis or blockage, which may lead to high blood pressure. Braised pork, elbow, fried chicken and other greasy foods are best not to eat.
4, high-sugar food
High-sugar food will lead to an increase in blood sugar content, which will affect blood viscosity and vascular pressure, and increase the burden on the heart and blood vessels. Moreover, sugar can also be converted into cholesterol and fat, which affects blood lipids and aggravates hypertension. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat some desserts, cakes and sugary drinks.
5. Pickled food
Many male friends like to use pickled food with wine, but they don't know that these two foods will damage blood vessels at the same time, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Pickled food generally needs to be preserved by adding a lot of salt. If you eat these pickled foods during the salt control period, not only can you not control your blood pressure, but you may also make your blood pressure rise sharply. Therefore, patients with hypertension should try not to eat pickled food.
1, coarse grains
Coarse grains are generally rich in nutrients and dietary fiber, which can promote cholesterol excretion and help reduce blood lipids. Not only patients with hypertension, but also patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia are advised to eat more.
2. Green vegetables
Most of the causes of hypertension are caused by bad living and eating habits. If we can correct these bad habits. It is also good for controlling hypertension. Vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements such as potassium and magnesium, which are not only beneficial to health, but also help to regulate blood pressure and promote lipid excretion, so we encourage hypertensive patients to eat more vegetables.
Step 3: fruit
Fruit is rich in vitamins and trace elements, so patients with hypertension can eat more. However, it should be noted that if hypertension is accompanied by diabetes, then try not to eat or eat less fruits, and don't eat fruits that are too sweet and have too high sugar content, like;
4. milk
In fact, milk is rich in calcium and potassium, which can promote peripheral vascular dilation and help reduce peripheral vascular resistance. Potassium can help the human body excrete sodium, so supplementing calcium and potassium has a good antihypertensive effect. Therefore, patients with hypertension can drink more milk, which is helpful to prevent and treat chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
5.seafood
Like some fish, shrimp and kelp, they are all suitable for patients with hypertension. These seafood contain a lot of calcium, which can help control blood pressure. However, it should be noted that the purine content of seafood is high, and patients with hypertension and gout should not eat too much seafood.
Of course, the food on the black list doesn't mean that you can't eat it at all, and the food on the red list doesn't mean that you can eat it openly. Everything should be moderate, too much. Hypertension is mainly controlled by antihypertensive drugs, and diet is only an aid. In addition to taking medicine on time, patients with hypertension should also pay attention to monitoring blood pressure on time every day to keep blood pressure stable, so as to better protect our blood vessels!
