Weight control
Excessive intake of saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids can lead to overweight and hypertension. Studies have shown that body mass index and blood pressure were positively correlated, each difference of 10 kg body weight, systolic blood pressure difference of about 3.0 mm Hg (0.4 kPa), diastolic blood pressure difference of about 2.2 mm Hg (0.29 kPa), and hypertension are known to be important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that obesity and overweight are the risk factors of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Dietary saturated fatty acids and sodium intake and stroke was positively correlated in the main determinant of population stroke mortality. In general, daily fat intake over 50 grams is appropriate, and should not be too high saturated fatty acid proportion.
The right amount of protein
Appropriate intake of protein for prevention of cardiovascular disease. Excessive protein intake can also lead to excessive fat intake, and increase the burden on the kidneys. Elderly per day per kilogram of weight intake of 1.2-1.5 grams of protein is appropriate, including at least 1/3 of high quality protein such as fish, eggs, milk, lean meat, soy products, the consumption of fish protein, soy protein allows reduce the incidence of stroke.
Dietary fiber is to eat more
Foreign study found that all the nutritional factors analysis showed that only dietary fiber and high blood pressure was negatively correlated, that is, increase dietary fiber intake can prevent hypertension. It has been reported to increase daily fruit and vegetable intake can reduce the risk of stroke risk. Promote more consumption of cereals, and less consumption of sweets, candy, eat coarse grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. with high dietary fiber food.
Control of sodium intake
Hypertension risk factors for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and salt intake is closely related, the higher the intake of population systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure higher. From the point of view of prevention of cardiovascular disease, the diet of the people still have to try to light, gradually reduce the amount of salt, until there are no special salt in the food, but also pay attention to "hidden salt", such as potato chips, instant noodles, potato strips.
