High blood pressure is a problem that plagues many. With hypertension, you have to give up many foods. But which ones, on the contrary, should be included in the diet?
According to therapist Suraya Kukadia, better known on social networks as Dr. Sudj, high blood pressure is a serious pathology, which in most cases is the cause of strokes, heart attacks, vascular and kidney diseases.
Salt, caffeine, sugar and many other products become undesirable for hypertensive patients. And what to add to the list of “allowed” foods? Dr. Sudj in a comment for SurreyLive said that beets should be at the top of the diet.
Beets contain substances called nitrates. They are safe and even beneficial for the body in this form. Nitrates reduce blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic). Moreover, beets help prevent the early onset of hypertension in people who are at risk.
At the same time, the vegetable contains a lot of fiber, vitamin C and B8, potassium and iron. Few calories, many useful substances with anti-inflammatory properties - what is needed for the health of the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous and other systems, the doctor emphasizes.
If the taste of the root vegetable seems strange, you can mix beets with apple or dilute its juice with a sweeter fruit nectar without added sugar.
