For hypertension patients who pay great attention to diet control in daily life, visiting relatives and friends from street to street, they have to meet with various snacks. Which can be eaten and which cannot be eaten? How much do you eat? How?
Now I’d like to give you the most complete [snack review]. It is suggested that everyone collect it and take it out when picking snacks everyday. It can also be shared with friends who do not have hypertension, so it is healthier to choose snacks.
Recommended Eat
Fruit
- Fresh fruit is the best choice among all kinds of snacks and is a good supplementary source of potassium, magnesium and dietary fiber. Although the fruit is good, it should not be excessive. It is suitable for about half a kilo a day.
Eat properly
Nuts
- Eat 25 ~ 40 grams of nuts with shells removed every day, which is about the amount of a handful or a porcelain spoon by hand. Choose the original flavor, which can reduce unnecessary sodium intake. Try to peel and eat with hands or tools, and reduce mouth cracking. Chestnuts are special, starch, and remember to reduce the amount of staple food for dinner if you eat too much.
Seaweed
- Seaweed itself has very little fat content, low calorie and certain dietary fiber. You can eat a few small bags a day. However, care should be taken not to add other seasonings to seaweed.
Milk slices, cheese, milk beans
- For pure milk slices and cheese, eating a slice of cheese is about 5-10 times the amount of milk, so it is appropriate to eat 30-60 grams of cheese a day. Drink more water when eating cheese. Don’t choose cheap milk beans or dried milk, they are actually processed products of dextrin essence and don’t have much milk content.
Chocolate
- You can choose relatively pure dark chocolate (cocoa content is above 65%), and you can eat a piece about the size of your thumb every day. Don’t eat milk chocolate, preserved fruit chocolate, wine heart chocolate, etc. which are extremely sweet.
Candied fruit
- When you don’t have the conditions to eat fresh fruits, you can eat about 25 ~ 35g of dried or baked fruits. It is best to choose the original dried fruits without sugar, salt or oil. Don’t choose candied fruits with sugar stains, honey stains and salt stains.
Eat as little as possible
Jerky, floss, jerky
- These processed foods of pig, beef and mutton are generally high in sodium content and are not recommended. If you like them very much, you can choose a small package of products not exceeding 40g/bag, and occasionally eat a small bag a day.
Dried fish, spicy fish pieces
- Seafood itself is relatively salty, and the sodium content of snacks processed from these products is very high. Some spicy fish pieces made by oil immersion technology are very easy to cause excessive intake of grease and sodium, and are not recommended to eat. If you like it very much, choose a small package and occasionally eat a package to relieve your appetite.
Chicken claw, duck breast
- Most of the snacks processed in various parts of these chickens, ducks and poultry, whether marinated, spiced, salted or pickled peppers, have the problem of excessive salt and are not recommended to eat. If you really like to eat it very much, you can choose to eat duck neck, chicken wings and chicken claws with bones, with less meat and less calories. It is enough to eat a fist-sized amount a day. If you like to eat chicken gizzard, chicken heart, chicken liver, etc., it is good to eat 1-2 at a time.
Dried eggs, marinated eggs
- Although these things are high in protein and low in fat, they taste heavy and contain a lot of salt. I really like to eat these. Don’t be a snack. When eating, eat them as small cold dishes and pickles.
Dried bean curd, bean roll, vegetarian meat
- Eating more soybeans and bean products is good for controlling hypertension, but the oil and salt seasonings in these snacks are too much. Like dried eggs and marinated eggs, these snacks should be eaten as vegetables.
Pastries, snacks, biscuits
- These are all cakes made of fine rice flour. At the same time, for the crisp or sticky taste and sweet taste, a lot of sugar, salt and oil are added. The calories are amazing. A small piece of cake may contain more calories than a bowl of rice. If you really like these things very much, choose the one you like best, find more people to share them with, and everyone should take a small bite to taste them.
Candy, pudding
-
Most candies and puddings are made of sugar with various flavors and seasonings. Apart from sugar, it is really not nutritious. Not recommended.
Remember to drink water
All kinds of snacks above, remember to drink more water after eating. The most recommended drink is plain boiled water, of course, drink some tea that is not too strong with it. If conditions permit, it is also recommended to drink milk, sugar-free soya-bean milk or bean soup boiled by yourself as a drink.
