Preface
Wang Dalin is a 70-year-old man who worked as an engineer before retiring.
He has a cheerful personality and a regular life, but has a not-so-healthy diet - he is very fond of eating pickles and pickled foods.
His wife, Zhang Shufen, is a nurse and often advises him to eat less of these foods, but Wang Dalin always disagrees.
Until that day, tragedy struck. Wang Dalin suddenly felt a splitting headache, vomited, and then fell into a coma.
Seeing this, Zhang Shufen immediately called an ambulance and took him to the hospital.
After examination, Wang Dalin was diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure.
Doctor Li Zhigang carefully treated and finally rescued Wang Dalin from the hands of death.
Due to the delay of the best time for treatment, Wang Dalin was left with sequelae such as hemiplegia, and he could not take care of himself.
"Hypertension is a common chronic disease, but many people don't take it seriously.
Mr. Wang likes to eat pickles and pickled foods, and his long-term intake of too much sodium has increased the burden on blood pressure.
These foods may seem delicious, but they are the 'invisible killers' of health. "
It turns out that high blood pressure is known as the "silent killer" because it has few noticeable symptoms in the early stages.
Many people don't feel any discomfort even when their blood pressure is high, so they neglect regular check-ups and treatment.
"High blood pressure causes chronic damage to blood vessels throughout the body, especially the cerebral blood vessels.
Once the blood vessel wall becomes brittle and ruptured due to long-term high pressure, it can cause cerebral hemorrhage, resulting in hemiplegia, aphasia, impaired consciousness, and even death. "
In addition to pickles and pickled foods, Dr Lee also mentioned several other vegetables that people with high blood pressure should eat less, such as spinach, celery, leeks, etc.
These vegetables are rich in potassium, which is good for lowering blood pressure, but excessive consumption of these vegetables in hypertensive patients with renal insufficiency can cause hyperkalemia, which is life-threatening.
"Everyone's physical condition is different, and the diet is different from person to person. "
Dr. Li advises, "Patients with high blood pressure should usually control their salt intake and eat less processed foods and animal offal;
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, choose low-fat, high-fiber foods, take medications, have regular check-ups, and adjust your treatment plan according to your doctor's instructions. "
