High blood pressure is a common health issue that affects many people in their daily lives. It can have serious implications on one's overall health, so it's important to be aware of its presence and take necessary precautions. So, what are some dietary methods for treating high blood pressure? How can we prevent it? Let's find out together!
Dietary Methods for High Blood Pressure
Carrot Juice
Consume approximately 1000 milliliters of carrot juice daily, divided into multiple servings. Medical research has shown that drinking carrot juice has a significant blood pressure-lowering effect in hypertensive patients.
Celery Porridge
Take 120 grams of celery (including the roots) and 250 grams of glutinous rice. Wash the celery and cut it into six-inch long segments. Rinse the glutinous rice. Put the celery and glutinous rice in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low heat until the rice becomes porridge. Add a little salt and monosodium glutamate, stir well, and it's ready to serve.
Vinegar-Soaked Peanuts
Soak raw peanuts in vinegar for 5 days, then consume 10-15 peanuts every morning. This has a blood pressure-lowering, anti-hemorrhage, and cholesterol-reducing effect.
Polygonum Multiflorum and Jujube Porridge
Take 60 grams of Polygonum Multiflorum and boil it in water to make a concentrated decoction. Remove the residue and add 100 grams of glutinous rice, 3-5 jujubes, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. Cook them together to make porridge. Consume it in the morning and evening. This has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, replenishing essence and blood, promoting hair growth, and lowering blood pressure.
Clam and Shepherd's Purse Soup
Take 10-30 grams of clams, shepherd's purse, or celery and cook them into a soup to be consumed daily. This is an effective treatment for lowering blood pressure.
What Meat Can High Blood Pressure Patients Eat?
There are several precautions for patients with high blood pressure, one of which is not to stop medication randomly. Additionally, their diet should be carefully managed, focusing on consuming foods that help control blood pressure while avoiding those that may interfere with hypertension treatment.
High blood pressure patients should avoid consuming the following meats: salted meat, fatty meat, pork fat, animal organs, animal brains, and animal oil. However, other types of meat can be consumed.
The Causes of High Blood Pressure
1. Genetic Factors
Approximately 60% of hypertensive patients have a family history of the condition. It is currently believed to be caused by polygenic inheritance, with 30% to 50% of hypertensive patients having a genetic background.
