Which foods are good for people with high blood pressure
Because hypertension is closely related to hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease, patients with hypertension should limit the intake of fatty foods, such as animal organs, cream, egg yolk, fish roe, animal oil and so on.
People with high blood pressure should limit sodium intake. However, potassium intake is conducive to the excretion of sodium and water, so patients with hypertension can appropriately increase potassium intake. For example, you can eat more fruits with high potassium content (such as oranges, bananas, apples, watermelons, etc.).
Magnesium ions have a sedative and antispasmodic effect, which helps to reduce blood pressure, therefore, patients with hypertension should eat more magnesium-rich foods, such as mushrooms, amaranth, shrimp, bean products.
Calcium ions help to reduce blood pressure, hypertension patients can eat more calcium-rich foods, such as milk, shrimp, fish, soy products and so on.
