In recent years, the situation of hypertension has been affecting people’s health, which is also one of the common “three highs” diseases. For some hypertensive patients, if they do not pay attention to adjustments in daily diet and lifestyle habits, it may lead to a sharp increase in blood pressure, triggering various complications, which are not beneficial to physical health.
When it comes to high blood pressure, most people first think of consuming too much salt. In fact, the real culprit causing hypertension is not salt but the sodium element in salt. Consuming an excess of sodium element can result in persistently high blood pressure.
Apart from salt, many common foods also have high sodium content. Consuming them in large quantities can lead to high blood pressure. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid three types of foods to prevent blood pressure from remaining high: pickled foods, spicy foods, and high-sugar, high-fat foods.
Pickled foods often contain high salt content, leading to increased sodium intake and high blood pressure. Spicy foods can damage the stomach lining and cause emotional fluctuations, which are not conducive to blood pressure regulation. High-sugar, high-fat foods can elevate blood lipid levels and strain blood vessels, contributing to elevated blood pressure.
Remember to stay warm in cold weather, exercise regularly, and maintain good health.
