【健康危機】高血壓是身體響起警號

⭐高血壓會引起多種致命疾病
⭐養成定期量血壓習慣
#星期四食材

小心高鈉食物
高血壓是一種動脈血壓升高的慢性疾病，分為原發性及續發性，續發性高血壓有明確病因，例如懷孕、內分泌異常、腎病等；而原發性高血壓與遺傳、年齡、體重等有關，如果父母都患有高血壓，子女遺傳機率可高達六成，而患病率隨年齡增長而增加，所以如有高血壓的遺傳風險，宜檢視生活與飲食方式，遠離疾病。
常說吃太鹹的食物容易導致高血壓，其實導致高血壓元兇是鈉，鈉不只存在於鹽裡，有些吃起來不太鹹的食物鈉含量都相當高，故購買包裝食物要留意營養標籤，世界衞生組織建議成人每日的鈉攝取量應少於2000毫克(即略少於一平茶匙鹽)。

常見高鈉食物：
白麵包 — 「無味」的白麵包加入鹽及酸度調節劑乙酸鈉等製作
麵條 — 杯麵鈉含量高，有些乾麵條鈉含量也不少
燒味 — 燒味製作時加入大量調味料
醬料 — 豉油、蠔油、雞粉、鹵水汁、魚露、蝦醬等都是高鈉調味料
罐頭 — 為延長罐頭保質期製作時添加鹽分
湯 — 湯底味道越濃郁，鈉含量就越高
醃製食品 — 火腿、香腸、午餐肉、榨菜、泡菜、鹹蛋等都是高鈉食物
零食 — 薯片、蝦片、餅乾、魷魚絲等小小一片鈉含量都很高

Beware of high-sodium foods
Hypertension is a chronic disease related the pressure of blood pushing against the arteries. There are two types of hypertension — primary and secondary. Secondary hypertension has apparent causes, for instance, pregnancy, endocrine disorders, and kidney problems. On the other hand, primary or essential hypertension is associated with hereditary, age, and weight.

If both parents suffer from hypertension, their children have a 60% chance of inheriting it. Chances of having hypertension would also increase with age. If you are at risk, do observe and adjust your lifestyle and dietary habits to keep hypertension at bay.

People always tell us that eating extremely salty food can cause hypertension. The main culprit of hypertension is actually sodium, which does not only exist in salt, but also foods that are not even salty. Therefore, keep an eye on the nutritional label of foods before buying them. The World Health Organization suggests that an adult should consume less than 2000mg of sodium per day. This is equivalent to less than one teaspoon of salt.

Foods that are high in sodium:
White bread — contains salt and acidity regulator like sodium acetates
Noodles — cup noodles and some dried noodles have high sodium content
Roasted foods — spices and seasonings are ingredients used to enrich the flavor of roasted foods
Sauces — soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken stock powder, braised and brined sauce, fish sauce, and shrimp paste are all high in sodium
Canned foods — sodium is added to canned foods to extend their shelf life
Soup — soup that is rich in flavor normally contains a lot of sodium
Pickled foods — ham, hot dog, luncheon meat, pickled mustard, and salted egg are high-sodium foods
Snacks — potato chips, prawn crackers, biscuits, and even dried shredded squid are high in sodium

Saw this statement on a menu and here are my thoughts 💭

1. Himalayan salt contains trace minerals but such amount is not significant and has provides extra benefits than table salt.

2. Excessive intake of any salt contributes to hypertension.

Conclusion: Be cautious with health claims from “health products” or food industry.
