Features: Hypertension is a common and prevalent disease among middle-aged and elderly people. With the continuous improvement of material living standards and the acceleration of work pace, the incidence of hypertension has been increasing year by year. In its later stages, it often leads to complications such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart failure, severely endangering people's health and even lives. Dietary treatment for hypertension is guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory, integrating natural foods and natural medicines organically. It not only preserves the nutritional benefits of natural foods but also possesses the preventive and therapeutic effects of medicinal ingredients. Generations of medical experts have also advocated the principle that "dietary therapy is better than medicinal therapy." The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon emphasizes: "Grains are for nourishment, fruits are for assistance, livestock are for enrichment, and vegetables are for supplementation." This sufficiently demonstrates that dietary therapy can not only supplement the nutrients needed by the human body but also improve the constitution of patients, enhance disease resistance, and achieve the goals of preventing disease before it occurs, preventing deterioration once it has occurred, and self-treating minor illnesses. This is also the purpose of writing this book.
For this reason, the book Healthy Kitchen Hypertension Health Recipes follows the principle that dietary therapy is key, divided into two parts: Part 1: "Dietary Therapy Recipes"; Part 2: "Medicinal Diet Therapy Recipes." It selects nearly 600 varieties of dishes, soups, pastries, porridge, juices, and teas with therapeutic and health benefits, each accompanied by cooking methods, characteristics, and efficacy. The recipes feature rational ingredient combinations, easy-to-follow instructions, and cost-effectiveness, making them highly scientific and practical.
