Can people with high blood pressure eat chicken? Why?

Muscle is a common food in our daily life, and the nutrients it contains are also needed by the human body. Patients with hypertension can eat chicken meat in their daily life, but try not to eat chicken skin. Muscles mainly contain protein and have a relatively low fat content.

Patients with hypertension just need to not eat chicken skin. Chicken nuggets are edible and chicken is a low-fat, low-calorie food, so there will be no problem as long as patients with hypertension eat it in moderation. It is also well absorbed by the body. It is the best choice for people with malnutrition and anemia.

Patients with high blood pressure can eat chicken. Patients with high blood pressure should eat less salt. Eating too much salt will make it difficult to control blood pressure. But if you also have high blood lipids, it will also make it difficult to control blood pressure. At this time, you should eat less chicken, especially chicken skin and internal organs, which have high cholesterol content.

If your blood pressure is not easy to control, you may need to consider the following issues:

1. Are you eating too much salt? You should eat less than 6 grams of salt a day. Drinking soup is the easiest way to cause excessive salt intake.

2. Are antihypertensive drugs suitable for you? Some patients have high blood pressure because of high blood volume and water and sodium retention. At this time, diuretics are the most suitable. Some patients are mainly due to mental tension and sympathetic nerve excitement. In this case, beta-receptor blockers or ACEI, ARB drugs should be used. If it is secondary hypertension, the key to treatment is to treat the primary disease. So you can try to adjust the type of medicine first.

3. Do you smoke, have high blood lipids, or have an irregular lifestyle? These can make it difficult to control blood pressure. Also, avoid strong tea, coffee, and other beverages that excite the sympathetic nerves. If you are obese, you should also exercise appropriately to control your weight, but you cannot exercise when your blood pressure is too high to avoid accidents.
