Patient's question:
My father is 48 years old this year and suffers from three highs, which are high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. He pays great attention to blood sugar issues and tends to be quite cautious about his diet. However, his blood pressure is always difficult to control and requires medication to manage. Today, I want to make some shrimp for my father. Can people with high blood pressure eat shrimp? Besides what should they avoid?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypertension can eat shrimp, but they should not eat too salty shrimp. For patients with hypertension, a light diet is necessary, and strictly speaking, the daily salt intake should not exceed six grams. Avoid greasy foods and completely give up smoking and alcohol. Additionally, more exercise can help control weight. If there is also diabetes and hyperlipidemia, they should be actively controlled. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
