In terms of diet, I tend to eat a lot of meat and fish and don't like vegetables. Recently, I've been feeling some discomfort in my body. I took my blood pressure a few times and found it to be high. What should people with high blood pressure pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
For people with high blood pressure, it is important to pay attention to their diet, focusing on low salt, low oil, and low sugar intake. The amount of staple food should be controlled, and more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C should be consumed. It is essential to maintain a cheerful mood and avoid emotional excitement. Sufficient physical activity can help reduce weight. A low-salt, low-fat diet should be followed, with an emphasis on eating more fruits and vegetables while minimizing the consumption of high-cholesterol foods such as animal organs and fatty meats. Quitting smoking and alcohol is also crucial.
