Hypertension is a common chronic vascular symptom, which refers to the continuous increase of systemic arterial blood pressure. After suffering from hypertension, patients will not have particularly obvious symptoms, but it will cause greater pressure on the blood vessel wall, which is easy to induce some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Therefore, once suffering from hypertension, you must take antihypertensive drugs for life. In addition, the diet must be adjusted, and three meals a day should be light diet.
In addition, you can also eat more foods with antihypertensive effect, which can stabilize blood pressure.
So, what foods can stabilize blood pressure? Now, let's introduce it in detail.
Which foods have the effect of reducing blood pressure?
1、 Potassium rich food
For patients with hypertension, three meals a day should be properly matched with some foods rich in potassium, such as millet, sweet potato, job's tears, buckwheat, etc. The content of potassium in these foods is very high, which can promote the rapid discharge of sodium salt in patients and achieve the effect of assisting blood pressure reduction.
In addition to coarse grains, rape, broccoli, eggplant, onion, celery, banana, apple and hawthorn are also rich in potassium. If eaten properly, they can dilate blood vessels and stabilize blood pressure.
2、 Vitamin rich foods
The diet of patients with hypertension should appropriately increase foods rich in vitamins, such as vitamin C. Vitamin C is a very good antioxidant, which can protect blood vessels. It can convert some excess cholesterol in the body into cholic acid and excrete it through feces or urine, so as to reduce the cholesterol content in the blood. It not only has the effect of reducing blood pressure, but also has the effect of reducing blood lipid and protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.
In all green leafy vegetables and kiwifruit, orange, lemon, strawberry and other fruits, the content of vitamin C is very high.
In addition to vitamin C, patients with hypertension should also appropriately supplement foods rich in vitamin E. Vitamin E is also an antioxidant, which can relax blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. Some nuts, eggs, sesame and corn contain a lot of vitamin C, which can be used by patients appropriately.
3、 Linoleic acid rich foods
Linoleic acid can soften the heart and brain blood vessels. It has a very important effect on reducing blood pressure, improving blood circulation and preventing arteriosclerosis. It can also reduce the deposition of excessive cholesterol in the blood vessel wall, enhance the elasticity of blood vessels and prevent thrombosis.
There are more linoleic acids in fish, soybean products, green leafy vegetables and olive oil.
4、 Food rich in dietary fiber
Dietary fiber can gather the excess sodium salt in the body and then excrete it out of the body, so as to reduce blood lipid, stabilize blood glucose and reduce blood pressure. It can also remove excessive cholesterol from the blood vessel wall, prevent arteriosclerosis and maintain the elasticity of blood vessels. Sweet potato, oats and some legumes contain more dietary fiber.
In addition, colored peppers, mushrooms, peas, spring bamboo shoots, celery, apple, mulberry, winter jujube and other fruits and vegetables all contain more dietary fiber.
In short, after suffering from hypertension, in addition to active treatment, we must pay attention to dietary conditioning. The above four kinds of food can be eaten more appropriately. In addition, some foods rich in calcium, high-quality protein, niacin, rutin and zinc should be properly supplemented, which plays a very important role in regulating blood pressure.
In addition, we must properly add more water and exercise properly, which can reduce blood pressure and protect cardio cerebral vessels.
