Hypertension diet nutrition and health

Hypertension in the Elderly which is a common cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular accidents and one of myocardial infarction as a causal factor, and the incidence of coronary heart disease are closely related. So found to have high blood pressure, antihypertensive drugs should be timely service, so that blood pressure remained at normal levels or slightly lower, at the same time, with diet therapy.

1999, the World Health Organization and the International Union of hypertension, high blood pressure on a re-definition:

≥ 140 mmHg systolic or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg, are designated as high blood pressure.

The best blood pressure: systolic blood pressure <120 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure <80 mmHg.

Normal blood pressure: systolic blood pressure <130 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure <85 mmHg.

Normal limits: 130 ~ 139 mmHg systolic and diastolic blood pressure for 85 ~ 89 mmHg.

Known risk factors, in addition to genetic and environmental factors, including diet and other factors have certain aspects of the relationship, so a reasonable nutrition is an important part of preventing hypertension, is also easy to promote a good way to talk about eating Below Health:

(A) to limit sodium. Scientists have confirmed that sodium (salt component NaCl) and the incidence of hypertension is closely related, so the control of salt intake to control hypertension, the general control of that daily salt in the following five grams, preferably three grams, namely food In a mild salt (commonly known as the tastes of light) can be.

If there is tinnitus, dizziness, swelling of patients with hypertension, salt should be strictly controlled, limited to two grams a day less or no salt, soy sauce instead of using 10 cc (1 tablespoon to 15 cc).

Hanna and more food restrictions, such as salted smoked food (including Xianrou, salted fish, pickles, pickled vegetables, etc.) and Hanna high MSG seasoning, and the Canadian base or Fajiao Fen, soda made of pasta, cakes, and so on.

(B) selection of quality protein foods. May be appropriate eating fish (cooking methods: steamed fish, braised fish, fish soup, sweet and sour fish, wandering fish, etc.) and soybeans and soybean products (such as: tofu, dry rot, Dou Fupi, etc.).

The animal experiments confirmed that the fish rich in protein containing methionine and taurine, can affect the regulation of blood pressure, urine output increase in sodium, can inhibit the effects of sodium on blood pressure, stroke prevention. At the same time the fat of fish, including senior polyunsaturated fatty acids, lower blood cholesterol, can prevent thrombosis.

Soybean plant protein, cardiovascular disease have a good protective effect, even if no relief, but also to prevent stroke and blood cholesterol down the role. So it was that the diet of hypertensive patients should have a certain amount of animal protein and soy protein for good.

(C) more choice potassium, magnesium, zinc and iodine higher food. Because such trace elements, relief and protection of the heart and the prevention of atherosclerosis functions.

The high potassium content of foods: citrus, apples, apricots, red dates, grapes, broccoli, soybeans, black bean, spinach, potatoes, and so on. Poultry, fish and high potassium content of lean meat.

Han Mei-food: all kinds of dry beans and fresh beans, amaranth, Guiyuan, bean sprouts, and so on.

Iodine-food: seafood category, kelp, seaweed, and so on.

Zinc-food: lean beef, lean pork, owls, peanuts, such as litchi. Yuan Liang zinc other cereals are also high, but with phytic acid, to be produced by fermentation, we can absorb use (like steamed Yumi Mian steamed buns, cakes evaporation, Jiang rice wine, Zhima Jiang, can be consumed.)

In addition to the attention of daily moderate-to drink boiled water (preferably early morning drinking a cup of water), the role of regulating blood viscosity, can purify blood, can-stool. At the same time should pay attention to the "balanced diet", top acid or alkali into the food should have (with Hunsu). Second staple food grain size in the best combination.

Food system: to have the laws, not Guobao drinking, eating dinner to light easy to digest. Do not drink, do not smoke. To feel relaxed and happy.

Other aspects: dark leafy vegetables like a lot of vitamin A, B, C and trace elements calcium and magnesium. Another example: fruit and cucumber, tomato, can be eaten raw, can be used to drop weight meals, to benefit patients with hypertension.

In general, patients with hypertension diet should be low-salt, have adequate protein, vitamin rich, low cholesterol and appropriate, and other trace elements.
