What are the precautions for a high blood pressure diet?

Patient's question:

His grandmother went to the hospital for a health check-up. The doctor said that his grandmother has high blood pressure and needs to pay attention to her diet. If there is anything she doesn't want to eat, she shouldn't eat it, otherwise it will be bad for her health. Hello doctor, what are the precautions to be taken for high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

For patients with hypertension, the diet should be low in salt, low in fat, low in cholesterol, high in protein, high in calories, high in vitamins, and high in fiber. Strictly control salt intake and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Additionally, patients with hypertension should also engage in appropriate physical exercise. The intensity and duration of the activity should be tailored to individual capabilities, and aerobic exercises such as running, walking, cycling, ice skating, gymnastics, and in-place stepping are generally recommended.
