Blood pressure is really a magical thing. Some people have high blood pressure, while others have low blood pressure. Both are unhealthy. What should pregnant women do if they have low blood pressure? How should it be treated?
Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension, and an appropriate high sodium and high cholesterol diet should be chosen.
1. Strengthen nutrition
In terms of diet, it is important to have a balanced diet of both meat and vegetables to ensure a comprehensive and sufficient intake of nutrients, gradually transforming the body from weak to strong. Eating foods that nourish qi and blood, warm and nourish the spleen and kidneys, such as lotus seeds, jujubes and other fruits, has the power to nourish the heart, blood, spleen and brain, and can be consumed regularly. Drink more soup, drink more water, and increase salt intake.
2. Supplement 'hematopoietic raw materials'
If accompanied by anemia with low red blood cell count and insufficient hemoglobin, it is advisable to eat more foods rich in protein, iron, copper, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C, such as pig liver, egg yolk, lean meat, milk, fish and shrimp, shellfish, soybeans, tofu, brown sugar, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Correcting anemia is beneficial for increasing cardiac output, improving blood supply to the brain, raising blood pressure, and eliminating adverse symptoms caused by low blood pressure.
3. Eating appetizing food
If accompanied by loss of appetite, one can eat appropriate foods and seasonings that can stimulate appetite, such as ginger, onions, vinegar, sauce, sugar, pepper, chili peppers, beer, wine, etc.
4. Choose a high sodium, high cholesterol diet
Contrary to hypertension, it is advisable to choose an appropriate high sodium and high cholesterol diet for low blood pressure. Sodium chloride (salt) should be consumed in an adequate amount of 12-15 grams per day (salt intake should not be too high). Eating foods that are high in cholesterol, such as brain, liver, eggs, butter, fish eggs, pig bones, etc. in moderation and regularly, can help increase blood cholesterol levels, increase arterial tension, and raise blood pressure.
5. Eat less food that has a blood pressure lowering effect
Eat less red beans, gourds, winter melons, watermelons, celery, hawthorn, bitter gourd, mung beans, garlic, seaweed, onions, sunflower seeds and other foods that have a blood pressure lowering effect.
Only with normal blood pressure can one have a healthy body. In addition to paying more attention to dietary adjustments, it is also important to exercise more and enhance physical fitness.
