Nutrition story: from hypertension eating

Nutrition story: from hypertension eating

Maybe the cold weather, many of my friends have asked, his parents with hypertension, arrived in the winter, blood pressure tends to increase, what should eat? What to eat to you can fall blood pressure? Celery line? Vinegar pickled black bean line?

Here, he remembered a time in Nanjing, and the driver of a story.

The driver asked, hypertension genetic? I said, if there is a family history of hypertension, especially family in many loved ones suffering from hypertension, so that their risk of hypertension may be higher than others.

The driver said: my father suffers from hypertension, 5 siblings, 4 of them have hypertension, only I a person of normal. I always worry about, when I get this disease. I said, the risk is big, does not mean that we will get sick. If you more attention than others healthy living, may for a lifetime or hypertension.

The driver's face is just a smile. He said that, really, my brothers and sisters to eat is not the same. They like using oil frying snack meal, meat, especially likes to eat pork, sweet and sour spareribs steamed meat buns, what, my house is not -- because I married a Muslim woman, can not eat pork. I'm not to eat beef and mutton, chicken, home only fish and seafood, not every meal eat. Wife likes cooking light, put oil, oil and salt are also less. How not to eat the snack, green vegetables bean curd is eat, drink 1 cups of milk.

I said, no wonder your blood pressure is normal ah, your diet can be much healthier than their brothers. Now many affluent areas of food are not healthy, meat is too much, too few vegetables are always. A lot of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area, fried vegetables to food soaked in oil, when making soup soup surface with a thick layer of oil, or thick milk soup, they particularly like to eat high fat pork, cooking with lard. Originally the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area cooking salt less, now is more salty, and because the pursuit of extreme delicious, MSG chicken put much, is equal to eat salt. The result, the original southerner hypertension is less, the incidence is rising now.

You know, international has a DASH diet, diet control of hypertension is to use the results of a study, the effects of blood pressure control is quite obvious. The DASH dietary, advocate eat more vegetables and fruits, beans and nuts seeds, to drink low-fat milk, eat white flour, less red meat, eat some chicken fish. From the nutritional point of view, this diet has less fat, cholesterol, calcium, potassium, high magnesium content, dietary fiber, nitrate and antioxidant substances, to control blood pressure and prevent heart disease is very good. Your home to eat them, and the dietary pattern is really a bit like. If we can reduce the polished white rice, appropriate to add some coarse grain legumes, and even more perfect.

The driver listened very happy, he said: no wonder ah, my old father in children each take turns, to my family, half a year later, blood pressure will gradually lower down, and then later, antihypertensive agents will not eat. The old man said good, do not want to leave.

However, I also advises him to say, a healthy life is not only eating things. Do drivers work, exercise less, stomach weight easily, it is a chronic disease risk. Okay, now you are quite normal.

The driver laughed: my wife physically weak, as a salesman station day is also very tired. I go home and rushed to do housework, buy dish to cook clean, don 't idle. It is God helps those who help themselves, many drivers have belly fat, cervical vertebra not what, I'm a little are ok.

Says the man behind the success of have a good woman, apparently healthy man should have a good woman. A good husband wife living habits, along with health; lady in delicate health, love her husband, do more housework and take care of her, the results can get healthy ...

Postscript: records of this story, is not to say that hypertensive patients do not need to continue the medication, but would like to say, for the prevention and control of simple hypertension, to establish a good lifestyle is very important. Less oil, eat less salt, eat less meat, eat less rice flour; eat more vegetables, eat more whole grains beans, eat more nuts, seeds, appropriate to eat fish, chicken, milk yogurt. Don't forget, to do more physical activity, to maintain a good mood, relieve mental pressure.

From this story, can get three enlightenments:

1 family group a kind of disease, which may have genetic factors, but more important factor is the relatives have common habits, particularly diet. As long as the healthy living to do, even if the parents and sister prevalence, we still have a great chance to be away from hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, chronic diseases such as gout.

2 to the prevention and control of chronic diseases, not stare at eat several so-called " health food ", such as " buck " food to eat, don't expect remedies to solve all problems. Overall dietary structure is the most important. The so-called dietary structure, is the food categories and quantity ratio. For example, just say " I am a vegetarian " is far from enough, as a vegetarian does not mean enough vegetables, have enough beans, have enough roughage, have enough nuts and seeds; just say " today I ate vegetables " is not enough. To say how much to eat vegetables, vegetables and meat is what proportion.

3 love wife easier to health and longevity. In this story, husband respect for his wife's eating habits, to his wife a fuss, the result is to help yourself from chronic diseases. Now a lot of families, the industrious wife contract all the housework, husband home drink eat meat, and then sit on sofa to watch TV, but the results of belly swollen, with three. On the other hand, mental stress may also increase the risk of hypertension, a loving husband and wife harmony itself is far from a disease, a factor!
