Especially, what should be paid attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
Patients with high blood pressure and heart disease should pay attention to the following points in their daily lives: First, they must strictly adhere to a low-salt, low-fat diet, limiting their daily salt intake to no more than six grams, and avoiding fried foods, animal organs, and seafood.
