HOW TO LIVE WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: MEDICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION Replacement of sodium by herbs and spices Restriction of carbohydrates to 60 g per day (= 240 calories) Normal protein ingestion of 60 g (= 240 calories) Limitation of fat intake to 25 g (= 225 calories) One fasting day per week. Only non-caloric liquids are permitted Keeping a diary of food intake Daily weight recording in the morning 150 calories for breakfast 150 calories for lunch 400 calories for dinner The sodium restriction may be lifted after 8-10 weeks for persons with normal blood pressure levels. Low-salt diet Today we no longer prescribe an almost salt-free (.035 oz. per day), difficult to adhere to diet. Rather, we recommend a slight reduction in salt consumption (1/10-1/5 oz.). We prescribe diuretics to help the kidneys excrete the excess odium. Follow this rule of thumb: no salt in the kitchen, no salt at the table. That means, never add salt to your food. In addition, all highly salted foods such as ham, pickled meats, sausages, marinated foods, salted cheeses and butter, prepared spicy sauces are taboo. It does not mean that meals have to be bland. There are many herbs that can lend flavor and interest to your meals. Once you develop a taste for them you will no longer miss the salt. The advantage of this diet is that it can be followed easily whether at home or eating out and protects the hypertensive patient from eating more salt than diuretics can help him excrete. Special diets These may be indicated if, even with normal weight, such metabolic disorders as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, or hyperuricemia persist. *37\336\2* Cardio & Blood |
