生活百科高血壓，如何用飲食調(diào)節(jié)？

[視頻文本]

If you have high blood pressure, you are more than twice as likely to develop heart disease and six times more likely to have a stroke than people with normal blood pressure. Manage your condition through diet.

You Will NeedFoods low in saturated fat
Fruits and vegetables
Low-salt foods
Moderate alcohol consumption
Doctor (optional)

Step 1: Eat less saturated fat   少食用一些含脂肪高的食物
Eat less saturated fat. If you are used to eating a diet high in fat, reducing your fat and cholesterol intake will reduce your blood pressure.

Step 2: Keep your weight under control    保持適中的體重
Count calories and keep your weight in check. Putting on extra pounds tends to raise blood pressure.

Step 3: Eat more produce    多食用一些農(nóng)產(chǎn)品
Eat more produce. Fruits and vegetables contain potassium, a mineral that appears to lower blood pressure.

Step 4: Reduce your salt intake    減少鹽的攝入量
Reduce your salt intake if your blood pressure responds to salt in your diet. About 58 percent of people with high blood pressure are salt-sensitive.

If you are not sure whether you are salt-sensitive, consult your doctor about trying a low-salt diet to see if your pressure drops.

Step 5: Drink in moderation   飲酒要適度
Drink alcohol in moderation. Although studies have shown that one alcoholic drink a day can lower your blood pressure, drinking excessively will raise it.

Over the course of an average life span, the human heart beats about 2½ billion times without stopping.
