Patient's question:
As people get older, they are more prone to developing high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and diabetes. I'm not too concerned about my father-in-law getting high blood lipids or diabetes, but I do worry a bit about him getting high blood pressure. How can high blood pressure be comprehensively prevented and treated? Are there any good dietary remedies specifically for preventing high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure, it is recommended to take long-acting antihypertensive drugs. Long-acting antihypertensive drugs are less irritating to blood vessels and will never cause blood pressure to fluctuate. While taking medication, you should also pay attention to a light diet, avoid eating too greasy meat, and achieve a low-salt, low-fat diet. The intake of salt should not exceed six grams per day. Additionally, it is important to maintain a calm mood at all times.
