Hypertension patients are advised to reduce dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids

In recent years found that not only affect blood lipid fatty acids, but also have an impact on blood pressure, in particular the effect on blood pressure of hypertensive patients.

In dietary intake of unsaturated fatty acids in the high country (such as Finland and the United States), has proven to reduce total dietary fat content, reducing saturated fatty acids, fatty acids increase, the average blood pressure fell to the crowd of about 1. 1kpa (8mmHg), blood pressure Normal blood pressure and light hypertension were significantly decreased blood pressure in patients with hypertension dropped more obvious. In China, the study found that fishermen in Zhoushan, Zhejiang lower levels of blood pressure, the fishermen to fish in the diet mainly of fish rich in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, this is probably the fishermen to maintain low blood pressure one of the reasons why.

Animal fat with more saturated fatty acids and fatty plant in unsaturated fatty acid content higher. China's current animal food less edible oil to vegetable oil-based and therefore less saturated fatty acids in the diet, higher unsaturated fatty acids, the prevalence of hypertension in China than Western countries, this may be China's traditional meal of a protective blood pressure The role of one of the factors. It is noteworthy that in recent years as China gradually improve people's standard of living, diet and fat content of animal fat content increasing, the prevalence of hypertension in recent years has also increased.

Therefore, patients with hypertension should be fresh with unsaturated fatty acids in plants and fish, eat or do not eat animal fats.
