International Hypertension Awareness Day
On the occasion of International Hypertension Awareness Day, here are some tips that should be included in the menu:
- Prefer a balanced diet that includes vegetables and fruits, grains, legumes, low-fat dairy products, olive oil and fish - these can help maintain a healthy weight.
- Do not pour salt on the wounds - reduce sodium consumption (also salt from the salt shaker, but mainly sodium found in ultra-processed food), the recommendation is up to one teaspoon of salt a day, which contains 2300 mg of sodium.
- Did you know that most of the salt we consume comes from processed foods? Therefore, reduce snacks, canned goods, smoked meat and sausages.
- Prefer raw and home-prepared food, fresh sea and pond fish, instead of canned or salted fish. Make homemade soup and avoid soup powders of all kinds.
- Maintain the levels of potassium and calcium - they play an important role in excreting sodium from the body, and it is important to consume them in foods such as bananas, avocados, tomatoes, potatoes, tofu, yogurt, and more.
- Limit your daily alcohol and caffeine intake. Instead, choose cocoa and green tea. Both of these components contain flavonoids, which improve the condition of blood vessels.
Prefer sea fish. Haha, a country that eats its inhabitants, everything is pond fish. Prefer and prefer all the food in the supermarket is full of sodium, everything is poison in the supermarket, there is nothing healthy
