What foods increase blood pressure?
The head of the cardiology department, cardiologist of the highest category, having the status of “Moscow doctor” Mikhail Borovsky, answers :
- Blood pressure is the most important indicator of the state of the human body, it displays with what force the blood pushed out by the heart muscle, puts pressure on the vessel walls.
In order to avoid increasing the pressure in the vessels, it is necessary to exclude from your diet foods containing salt, caffeine. For example, brewed coffee and sweet carbonated drinks.
To prevent an increase in blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack, you need to take antihypertensive drugs, monitor your blood pressure and, of course, follow a special diet.
It is necessary to exclude the products containing a significant amount of salt: these are any sausages, canned food, herring, sauerkraut, pickled cucumbers. All of these products contribute to high blood pressure.
To maintain pressure within the normal range (based on your age), you should use no more than six grams of salt per day.
Increasing blood pressure in the first place, it is dangerous because it can trigger a stroke. It can also act as an additional background for coronary heart disease and, therefore, myocardial infarction. These changes in the vascular wall contribute to heart damage and can also cause sudden death
Most often, hypertension is susceptible to the elderly, because this disease develops with age. True, there have been frequent cases of hypertension at 30 years and at 20. More often, of course, at a young age, it has a secondary nature against the background of kidney disease, congenital vascular anomalies.
