Nutrition plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of hypertension (THA), which is closely related to arterial blood pressure through various stages, especially the amount of nutrients in the diet. Daily: Sodium, potassium, calcium, total fat and fat content, consumption of alcohol ...
According to nutrition experts, in areas with low THA, the daily diet of vegetables, fruits and fish is high.
At present, non-communicable diseases are increasing, including high blood pressure, which has contributed to changing patterns of morbidity and mortality in Vietnam. According to the survey data, the rate of hypertension in adults has nearly doubled in 13 years from 11.2% (1992) to 20.7% (2005) and the Ministry of Health In the year 2015, 18-69 year-old adults showed an increase in blood pressure of 18.9%; The rate of hypercholesterolemia is 30.2%.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), healthy adults usually have blood pressure at 120/80 mmHg. Hypertension when systolic blood pressure (BP max) ≥ 140mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (BP minimum) ≥ 90mmHg.
Sodium plays an important role in hypertension. Normally, the amount of sodium in the urine for 24 hours is used to estimate the amount of sodium consumed daily from the diet. In places where salty eating is common, the prevalence of hypertension is higher than in places where there is light eating. A study of the Institute of Nutrition in 1992: Nghe An people eat an average of 14g of salt per day and 13g of salt per day in Thua Thien Hue, the rate of 18%. Meanwhile, in Hanoi people eat an average of 9g salt per day, the rate of THA nearly 11%.
Prophylactic and hypertensive diets Potassium-rich diets can lower blood pressure in people with a history of hypertension
Sodium in the daily diet can be made up of two main sources (the portion added to the food, which depends on the individual taste) and the source of the food (sodium added in food too Processors and sources in food.
