Hypertension patients must abide by the dietary guidelines. Most of hypertension patients are caused by obesity, so overweight is an important factor to induce hypertension. Therefore, for everyone, whether for the treatment of hypertension or health care, we all think that patients with hypertension should control their weight. Many people know that the diet should be light, and even some people think that patients with high blood pressure should be vegetarians, so as to prevent and treat high blood pressure from the diet, but it is not the case.
Hypertension itself is a kind of disease, increasing nutrition and improving immunity is also very important. If we only eat vegetarian food, it will definitely cause malnutrition and physical decline, which is very unfavorable for the treatment of hypertension.
For patients with hypertension, there should be a reasonable diet structure, which can not only supplement the rich nutrition needed by the body, but also can not interfere with the effect of reducing blood pressure. It's not just vegetarianism. It's bad for your health. The key to a healthy diet is balance. Even the diet of obese hypertensive patients should include a certain amount of animal protein. Because the fat amino acids contained in animal protein such as egg, beef and mutton are in line with the needs of human body, which can not be replaced by plant protein. Patients with hypertension should establish a correct diet concept, achieve a balanced diet under the premise of salt restriction, and take a certain amount of grains, fruits, vegetables and animal protein every day.
We will also see many tailored dietary pyramid schemes for patients with hypertension, that is, eat more food at the bottom, and the more you go up, the less salt you eat, but you can't ignore not eating. The first layer of the food pyramid, which is at the bottom of the pyramid, is mainly Cereals, such as rice, steamed bread, corn and so on. You should eat about 400 grams a day. The second layer is vegetables and fruits. It is recommended to take 450 grams of fresh vegetables and 160 grams of fresh fruits every day. The third layer is fish, shrimp, meat, poultry and eggs. The daily intake of livestock meat is 70g, fish and shrimp is 50g, and egg is 40g. Fish is a source of high-quality protein, and the fat content is low, it is recommended that patients eat more. The fourth layer is milk and its products, beans and bean products. 100 grams of skimmed milk and yogurt should be taken every day, because these two kinds of milk not only retain the nutrients in milk, but also reduce the content of fat and cholesterol, so they should be preferred. The fifth layer is the top of the pyramid, which is mainly composed of fat and oil. You can take about 25 grams a day.
The pyramid dietary plan given above is very beneficial to the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with hypertension. Patients with hypertension can take it as the 'golden rule' of their daily diet. It's unscientific to eat only vegetarian food, so patients with hypertension should not blindly eat only vegetarian food in order to control their weight. The correct way is to have a balanced diet, which is conducive to recovery as soon as possible.
