Now people's incomes have increased, their diets have also improved, and our fathers' generations have coarse tea and light meals every day, and now our dining table is much richer.
But everyone found that although the diet has been greatly improved, many chronic diseases have also come to the door, such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, etc., which have a lot to do with diet.
Aunt Wang is 60 years old this year, she heard experts say that egg yolks are nutritious, so she insists on eating a few egg yolks every day, but she didn't expect to suddenly feel flustered and dizzy after dinner one day.
After being sent to the hospital by her family, she was diagnosed with high blood pressure after examination, which made Aunt Wang a little surprised, she usually pays attention to the maintenance of her body, why did she suddenly suffer from this disease?
Aunt Wang suspects that the reason why she suffers from high blood pressure is because of the egg yolks she eats every day, and the doctor suggests that the daily intake of egg yolks must be quantitative, and if you want to have normal blood pressure, you should eat less of these foods.
1. The relationship between egg yolk and hypertension
Eggs are one of the most common foods in daily life, because of its high nutritional value, so it is also regarded as a kind of nutrition, in the past if anyone is sick or who has a mother, eggs will become the best gift.
It is precisely because of this that most middle-aged and elderly people especially like to eat eggs, and there are many ways to eat eggs, whether it is fried, fried, or directly boiled or steamed chicken cakes are very delicious.
Because the nutritional value of eggs is great, it is suitable for people of all ages to eat, but there is a category of people who will be allergic to eggs.
The reason why eggs are so popular with everyone is because it is rich in high-quality protein, which can replenish protein for the body in time, and also has lecithin, vitelline, phosphorus, calcium, etc.
These are all necessary nutrients for the normal functioning of the body, and a small egg can meet the basic needs of the body, so it has also become one of the essential foods for many people when traveling.
Eggs can not only effectively replenish the relevant energy for the body, but also enhance personal metabolism, so middle-aged and elderly people eat more eggs, which has many benefits for the body.
But studies have shown that eggs are rich in lecithin and cholesterol, both of which are likely to increase body fat content, which can increase the risk of hypertensive heart disease.
It is important to note here that eating eggs in moderation every day will not have a negative impact on blood pressure, but will be beneficial to the body, but if you consume too many eggs per day, this balance may be upset.
In fact, the effect of cholesterol in egg yolk on blood pressure is far less than everyone thinks, unless you eat more than a dozen eggs a day, it is recommended that you control the amount of eggs per day at 1~2 best.
Therefore, eating eggs normally and reasonably will not affect everyone's blood pressure value, but it is beneficial to improve the body's health index, and eating 1~2 eggs a day is good for blood pressure levels.
This is not to say good things about eggs, previous studies have shown that moderate consumption of eggs has no significant effect on blood pressure, but eating eggs in large quantities may increase the risk of high blood pressure.
After all, eggs contain cholesterol, once too much food will definitely have an impact on health, and the cooking method is also very important, in order to reduce the burden on the body, it is recommended that you can directly boil or steam, as little fried as possible.
Second, the middle-aged and elderly should eat less food
Longevity is something that almost all ages want to have, but the number of people suffering from chronic diseases on the mainland is increasing year by year, and many diseases are beginning to show a trend of youthfulness.
This has a lot to do with everyone's diet and living habits, and the doctor recommends that the following foods must be eaten less by middle-aged and elderly people, and if they can, they should not eat directly.
1. High-salt food
Nowadays, more and more people prefer heavy food, even if they cook at home, there are many seasonings, which may lead to an increase in the salt content of the dish.
Don't think that you can put less salt in cooking, the oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and chicken essence we use actually contain a certain amount of salt.
Therefore, we have been emphasizing that it is recommended that families with high blood pressure must be light when cooking and eat more fresh vegetables, which can well supplement dietary fiber and vitamins.
In addition, there are actually many high-salt foods, such as the most common kinds of pickled small pickles on the market, which is indeed special for rice, and is the best breakfast choice for many people with a bowl of white porridge in the morning.
However, in the process of pickling, a lot of salt will be added to this kind of pickles, and in order to increase the shelf life, some additives will be added to it, which is an unhealthy food, and everyone must eat less.
There are also all kinds of bacon sausages nowadays, which are marinated by salt, especially for people with high blood pressure, it is best not to eat this kind of food.
If too much salt is consumed, it will lead to too high sodium content in the body, which is not conducive to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and these foods may cause blood pressure instability.
2. High-calorie food
Throughout more than ten years ago, the generation of my parents' generation ate mainly grains, although there was less oil and water, but it was very healthy, so that generation suffered from various diseases.
Now our dining table is becoming more and more abundant, with all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, which also leads to the high daily intake of fat and calories, which will lead to a large accumulation of fat.
The so-called high-calorie foods are fried foods, high-sugar foods, and some animal offal, which are recommended for people with high blood pressure not to touch.
Fried foods are now very common, such as fried fish, fried chicken, fried twist, french fries, pizza, burgers, etc., after high temperature frying, even if you use oil blotting paper to absorb the oil on the surface, but the food still contains a lot of oil.
After ingestion into the human body, some parts will be broken down, and the other part will gradually accumulate in the body, especially for patients with high blood pressure, regular consumption of fried food is not conducive to the stability of blood pressure, and it is likely to affect the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs.
Although animal offal is rich in nutrients and has a variety of practices, it contains a lot of cholesterol, and eating too much of it can also affect blood pressure levels.
Not to mention high-sugar food, some middle-aged and elderly people like to set up an afternoon tea time for themselves in the afternoon, when all kinds of small snacks and small cakes have become the first choice.
This kind of food will add a lot of sugar and butter in the process of making, which will only bring a great burden to the body, and middle-aged and elderly people must control their intake.
3. Spicy food
Nowadays, some people are almost spicy and unhappy, and they need chili peppers as ingredients for every meal, but chili peppers have a great stimulating effect, and after ingestion into the human body, it is likely to cause spasm of small arteries, which will affect blood pressure values.
What everyone doesn't know is that although spicy food can stimulate the taste buds, it is easy to enhance the motility and elasticity of blood vessels, which is why some people will experience edema on the second day after eating spicy hot pot.
If you are taking blood pressure medication, after eating spicy food, it may cause an increase in blood pressure and counteract the effect of blood pressure medication, which is not good for the body.
In addition, irritating foods such as ginger, star anise, green onions, and leeks should also be eaten less by patients with high blood pressure, which may lead to unstable blood pressure values.
If you want to maintain healthy blood pressure, it is recommended that you choose low-fat, low-sugar, high-protein foods in your diet, such as fish, chicken or soy products.
There are also many vegetables suitable for people with high blood pressure, such as kelp, celery, spinach, and bitter gourd, which are relatively common in life and relatively cheap.
3. Ways for people with high blood pressure to stay healthy
If you want to control your blood pressure, it is not enough to control your diet, you also need to adjust your bad lifestyle habits, so that your health index can be doubled.
It is inevitable to go to bed early and get up early, and having enough sleep can make all organs of the body be well repaired, which is the first step to ensure health, especially for patients with high blood pressure, the quality of sleep directly affects the blood pressure value.
Point 2: Patients with high blood pressure must monitor their blood pressure values more and always have a blood pressure measuring instrument at home, so that they can understand their physical condition in real time.
The third point is definitely exercise, in the process of exercise, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular can also be exercised, especially aerobic exercise, which can improve cardiopulmonary function and help to maintain cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.
There are many so-called aerobic exercises, such as walking, jogging, tai chi, square dancing, etc., which are more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, the exercise intensity is not too high, and everyone can do it, but everyone should arrange the appropriate amount of exercise time and exercise according to their physical condition.
Exercise can help us control our weight, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and improve metabolism, which is conducive to lowering blood pressure, so it is recommended that we do at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise every week.
The fourth point is to try to quit smoking and drinking, tobacco and alcohol have a certain stimulation to the body, which is not conducive to the stability of blood pressure and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Moreover, alcohol is easy to have adverse reactions with various antihypertensive drugs, which is also bad for the body and may cause other diseases, so we must control it for the sake of health.
