PS: milk, soybeans and their products and eggs are not only high calcium food, but also a good source of high-quality protein. On the basis of eating enough of these quantities, we also need to eat poultry meat, fish, shrimp and shellfish to ensure that we have enough protein on that day.

High blood pressure, these foods should be limited

Patients with hypertension should pay attention to salt, sugar and oil restriction in diet:

1. Salt limitation

The daily salt intake should be controlled below 5g (converted into 2200mg sodium), which is about the size of an ordinary beer bottle cap.

PS: This includes both the salt of seasoning and the salt contained in the food itself.

High salt foods that need attention mainly include:

Attention to salt reduction:

Low sodium salt can be used instead of ordinary edible salt;

Try to eat at home and reduce the frequency and frequency of dining out;

When cooking, put 1 ~ 2 kinds of seasonings. You can use mushrooms, algae, or natural foods or spices such as star anise, cinnamon and pepper to enhance the flavor of dishes;

Add salt or vinegar before coming out of the pot to improve the saltiness on the basis of less salt.

2. Sugar restriction

The daily sugar intake should be controlled below 25g as much as possible, which is about 5 tablespoons of ordinary stainless steel spoon.

High sugar foods that need attention mainly include:

Precautions for sugar reduction:

Patients with hypertension should learn to look at the composition list of food packaging, such as sugar (or carbohydrates), so as to understand and consciously control the total sugar they eat.

PS: learning this method is also good for limiting salt.

3. Limited oil

The daily intake of edible oil should be controlled below 25g, about 2.5 tablespoons of white ceramic tablespoons.

Precautions for oil reduction:

In addition to the amount, the edible oil should be mainly vegetable edible oil, that is, corn oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc., which can also help to control blood pressure.

Of course, you want to control your blood pressure

Diet control alone is not enough

Medication according to doctor's advice, weight control, exercise, etc

You need to do it together~
