      Patients with high blood pressure should make choices in their diet:

      1. To control heat energy, you must control the intake of staple foods and fats, and try to eat as little or no high-calorie foods as sweets, snacks, sweet drinks, fried foods, etc.

      2. Reduce the amount of salt used in cooking and try to eat as little pickles and other salted foods as possible.

      3. Eat less fat meat and various animal fats, and control high-cholesterol foods such as animal brains and fish roe. For edible oil, try to use vegetable oils such as soybean oil, peanut oil, and sunflower oil.

      4. Eat more vegetables and fruits, especially dark vegetables.

      5. Appropriately increase the intake of seafood, such as kelp, seaweed, seafood fish, etc.
