in 2010, the number of hypertensive patients in China has exceeded 200 million, and the number of people continues to increase at 10 million per year. Moreover, hypertension is no longer a "patent" for middle-aged and elderly people. The prevalence of hypertension under 30 years of age has reached 10%, and the trend is far higher than that of the elderly. Statistics show that 50% of the 3 million cardiovascular deaths in China each year are related to hypertension.
in order to control blood pressure, people have come up with various ways besides taking medicine. It is a common practice to prevent or improve certain diseases through imported foods in China, which has always been focusing on dietary therapy. But what may be effective in reducing blood pressure? The life times has recently interviewed five leading experts on cardiovascular and nutriology, asking them to prescribe a "antihypertensive drug" on the table.
[b] "a bean three children one meter" [/b]
in the cause of hypertension, besides obesity, too salty and too high sodium in food is also an important cause, and potassium and magnesium can play the role of neutralizing sodium, against the increase of blood pressure and vascular damage caused by sodium. The director of the cardiovascular Expert Committee of the Chinese Geriatric Health Association, the deputy leader of the national cardiovascular research and control group, and Professor Hong Zhaoguang, a researcher at the An Zhen Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University, were recommended by Hong Zhaoguang, a researcher at the An Zhen Hospital. The "one bean" is the pea. Peas contain high amounts of carotene, vitamin E and vitamin C, which are of great significance in protecting normal physiological functions of blood vessels. People with high blood pressure or elevated blood pressure, who have symptoms such as headache, annoyance, pulse strings, are suitable for eating.
"three sons" are pine nuts, hazelnuts and sunflower seeds. Pine nuts are rich in essential fatty acids, which can reduce cholesterol, prevent arteriosclerosis and lower blood pressure. The hazelnut and sunflower seeds contain higher potassium.
"one meter" refers to peanuts. Nearly half of the peanut fatty acids such as linoleic acid have the effect of lowering cholesterol, preventing atherosclerosis and lowering blood pressure. Soaking peanuts with vinegar for 1 weeks, taking 7 to 10 pills per night can help reduce blood pressure.
five kinds of antihypertensive tea
first is hawthorn tea, which helps digest and expand blood vessels, and helps reduce blood sugar and blood pressure. The chief health education expert of the Ministry of health and Professor Zhao Lin, a researcher on the Nutrition Department of the General Hospital of the PLA to teach you, can be drunk several times a day with 1 - 2 fresh hawthorn fruits.
lotus leaf tea: has the effect of dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. The way is: wash and cut up half of the fresh lotus leaf, add the right amount of water and boil it, then cool it and replace it with tea.
corn tea: drink tea with corn tallow, several times a day, 25 to 30 grams each time. It has a good effect of lowering blood pressure. The clinical effect of corn stigma on hypertension caused by nephritis is especially obvious.
Pueraria lobata: Pueraria lobata has the effect of improving blood circulation in the brain, and has therapeutic effect on headache, vertigo and tinnitus caused by hypertension. Rinse the root of kudzu root and slice it, 30 grams a day, add water to boil, then drink tea.
Huaihua tea: the flower bud of Sophora japonica is removed and dried, soaked in boiling water and used for drinking tea. Several times a day, there is a unique treatment for patients with hypertension.
celery and mint
"some foods contain substances that expand and soften blood vessels and, in theory, can assist in reducing blood pressure." Professor Wang Xian, deputy director of the cardiovascular Association of the Chinese Academy of Chinese medicine and professor of Department of Cardiology, Beijing Dongzhimen Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said. For example, people with headaches and headaches caused by hypertension often eat celery to relieve symptoms. Because celery is full of butylphthalide, it is also called celery sedative, which has the function of Jingan God. Although there are many causes of hypertension, once the incidence of the disease, almost all patients will cause excessive secretion of adrenaline due to vascular smooth muscle tension, celery sedation can inhibit vascular smooth muscle tension, reduce adrenaline secretion, thus reducing the peace and stable blood pressure. The effect is better by frying the root of celery. Peppermint also has the function of clearing liver, eye-catching and lowering blood pressure.
[b] "one skin one core", "two black two green", "one gourd a garlic", "one bean and one eggplant" [/b]
professor Shen Yanying, vice president of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, explained that "one skin one core" refers to watermelon skin and lotus seed core. Take 9 grams of watermelon skin and cassia seed, and decoct it with water. Lotus seed core is the embryo of lotus seed, and the non crystalline alkaloid Nn-9 has good antihypertensive effect.
"two black and two green": black fungus, water chestnut, spinach, celery. Auricularia auricula is known as "meat in the middle". Its antihypertensive effect is not direct, but by reducing blood pressure indirectly by improving blood vessels. Shen Yanying specially recommended: 15 grams of black fungus, 15 grams of tremella, after the blisters to the pedicle, tear into a petal, into a bowl, and then add ice sugar, Chinese wolfberry 20 grams and proper water, steam for 30 minutes. After taking out, put cool, 20 grams of honey. When you are dessert, take it two times in the morning and evening. It is suitable for all kinds of hypertension, especially for patients with hypertension accompanied by atherosclerosis and fundus hemorrhage.
water chestnut is a good food for both food and medicine. Because it contains a disease resistant ingredient, water chestnut, it has a certain effect on anticancer and lowering blood pressure. Chinese water chestnut is not heat resistant, so the water chestnut is best eaten as fruit.
"two green" refers to spinach and celery. Spinach contains a large amount of antioxidants such as carotene, potassium and vitamin C, which help slow down the damage of free radicals to blood vessels.
"one bean and one eggplant": potatoes and tomatoes. Potato is also a high potassium food, potassium content is much higher than that of ordinary Cereals, so it has the effect of lowering blood pressure. In diet therapy, tomatoes are commonly used to treat hypertension, dizziness and hyperlipidemia. Treatment is: take red tomatoes 1 - 2, daily morning fasting, 15 days, 1 courses. If hypertension is associated with hyperlipidemia, take 100 grams of red tomato, wash and extract juice, 10 grams of Gastrodia elata, and extract thick sauce. Combine the two juices together, warm them, 30 milliliters at a time, 2 times a day.
"a gourd a garlic": the gourd has the effect of clearing heat, diuresis and lowering blood pressure. The specific method is: remove the juice from the gourd, and mix it with honey, 20 to 30 milliliters per day, 2 times a day. Garlic can relieve cough, relieve asthma and pass water, and it is also a common food for treating hypertension. The specific method is: take garlic proper amount, soak in sugar and vinegar for 7 days, eat 2 - 4 petals on empty stomach before each meal, and drink a little sugar and vinegar juice for 15 days; if accompanied by hyperlipidemia, you can use garlic to mash the juice with a proper amount of milk. "
[b]" a divination, a son, a bean, "
[/b]" '' '' "is a radish." Professor Wang Guowei, vice president of Beijing Chinese Medicine Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that the chopped white radish was chopped and mashed to take the juice, 50 milliliters each time, 2 times a day, which could reduce blood pressure and reduce blood pressure and soften blood vessels. "One son" refers to the lotus seed, the effective component of which can inhibit the hemodynamic, can inhibit myocardial contraction, slow down the heart rate, dilate the coronary artery, relax the blood vessels, reduce blood pressure, and anti arrhythmia, and anti myocardial ischemia. The hypotensive usage of lotus seeds is: 10 grams of lotus seed, 15 grams of longan meat, 12 grams of lily, 9 grams of Fructus Schisandrae, and water frying every night. The "one bean" refers to the green bean. It contains many effective ingredients, pharmacological analysis shows that it can effectively lower blood pressure and reduce blood cholesterol, prevent atherosclerosis and so on.
antihypertensive food can be eaten, but it can not be eaten without restraint, nor can it replace drugs. Experts stress that hypertension patients must insist on taking antihypertensive drugs for a long time to keep their blood pressure stable. In the treatment of hypertension, food only plays a supplementary role, and there is no immediate effect. Eat blood pressure food, one is to pay attention to the long-term persistence, to play a role; two, according to the different conditions of each person, the constitution to eat, the best to eat before the consultation of the doctor, to determine the principle of their own diet.
