5 kinds of fruits are on the blacklist of high blood pressure diet. People with high blood pressure should eat less

Hypertension is one of the perennial chronic metabolic diseases, and there are many hypertensive patients in China. For patients with hypertension who have been diagnosed, they should not only take antihypertensive drugs on time, but also pay attention to their diet. If there is no dietary treatment, the effect of drug treatment will be greatly reduced.

What kind of diet is suitable for patients with hypertension? The DASH diet has been ranked as the best diet for many years in a row. In the DASH diet, a relatively comprehensive diet is provided for patients with hypertension. How to eat fruits and how to match them are also questions frequently asked by patients with hypertension.

There are many kinds of fruits, and different fruits have different characteristics. Among these fruits, not all fruits are suitable for patients with hypertension. Among them, patients with hypertension should try not to eat these 5 kinds of fruits.

1 grapefruit

Grapefruit is also called grapefruit. The color of its flesh is different from other grapefruits. The red flesh makes people salivate. Friends who love to eat grapefruit often choose grapefruit first. However, although grapefruit is delicious and has high nutritional value, it is not suitable for patients with high blood pressure. Why?

Grapefruit does contain a lot of nutrients, but the furanocoumarins in grapefruit are not very friendly to patients with hypertension. Patients with hypertension often need to take antihypertensive drugs on time, and the flavonoids and furanocoumarin compounds in grapefruit will enter the bloodstream at several times or even dozens of times the normal amount after entering the human body, thereby increasing the body's absorption of the drug, rapidly lowering blood pressure and causing hypotension. The harm of low blood pressure to patients with hypertension is far greater than that of high blood pressure, and may put patients with hypertension in danger of death.

2 coconuts

In Hainan, coconut is one of the must-eat fruits for many people. Coconut has a relatively high nutritional value. The content of arginine, alanine, cystine and serine is higher than that of milk, and there are as many as 17 kinds of free amino acids. However, even so, coconut is not suitable for patients with hypertension.

Although coconuts don’t taste sweet, it can’t hide the sugar content in them. The sugar content in 100 grams of coconut is as high as 31.3 grams. Eating too much sugar can also induce high blood pressure. For patients with high blood pressure, consuming too much sugar can also aggravate their condition, increase the risk of complications, and be detrimental to controlling blood pressure.

3. Durian

Durian is a controversial fruit because of its taste. People who like to eat durian are full of praise for it. People who don't like the taste of durian look down on it. Durian contains high levels of vitamin C and B vitamins, and is also rich in manganese among minerals. It also contains a certain amount of phosphorus, magnesium and potassium.

However, durian is also a dietary taboo for patients with hypertension. Durian is a food with high nutritional value, but it not only contains these nutrients, but also sugar and fat. The fat content in durian is only about 5%, but the sugar content is as high as 27%. For patients with hypertension, durian can only "quench their thirst by looking at plums".

4. Lychee

"A horse gallops through the red dust, and the concubine smiles. No one knows that it is the lychee coming." The lychee shell is red, the membrane is like purple gauze, the flesh is like white fat, and it is as sweet as honey. When you take one, the sweet taste spreads between your lips and teeth. Lychee has been a popular fruit since ancient times. However, lychees are not suitable for everyone, and patients with hypertension are one of them.

Litchi contains a high amount of sugar, and among these sugars, the content of fructose is even higher. Fructose will produce uric acid when it is metabolized in the human body, and it will also inhibit the kidneys from excreting uric acid, causing an increase in blood uric acid levels. An increase in blood uric acid will also affect blood pressure, and the risk of complications from high blood pressure will also increase.

5. Papaya

Although papaya does not have the effect of breast enhancement, it is still very popular among consumers. The papain contained in papaya can break down fat and provide support for weight loss. In addition, the enzyme contained in papaya is conducive to the digestion and absorption of food, so papaya has the effect of strengthening the spleen and digesting food.

However, the sodium ion content in papaya is relatively high. The sodium content in papaya can be checked through the "Chinese Food Composition Table". The sodium ion content in 100 grams of papaya reaches 28 mg, which is a high-sodium food among fruits. The dietary principle for patients with hypertension is a high-potassium and low-sodium diet, reducing the intake of sodium in food and increasing the intake of potassium. Papaya obviously does not conform to this dietary principle, and patients with hypertension can only stay away from papaya.

If the dietary treatment of patients with hypertension is done well, drug treatment can also play a greater role. It is recommended that patients with hypertension eat less or no of the above five kinds of fruits. After all, health is your own, and only with health can everything be possible.
