High blood pressure can lead to health problems such as heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. People with high blood pressure may need to make changes to their diet.
How does eating affect blood pressure?
When you eat, the body redirects blood to the digestive system to aid in digestion, and this causes a temporary drop in blood pressure elsewhere in the body.
To compensate, blood vessels outside the digestive tract constrict, causing the heart to beat faster and with more force. This helps maintain a healthy blood pressure throughout the body.
Some people experience a persistent drop in blood pressure after eating. This occurs when blood vessels outside the digestive tract do not constrict. Doctors refer to this condition as postprandial hypotension, or postprandial hypotension.
It is normal for a person with high blood pressure to experience low blood pressure after eating. Low blood pressure after eating can cause complications such as:
-fainting.
-drop.
-nausea.
-Dizziness.
Lightness of head.
Visual disturbances.
Also, prolonged fasting can cause a drop in blood pressure. In addition, it may increase a person’s risk of developing an electrolyte imbalance and nutrient deficiency.
It is normal for blood pressure to drop after eating, even for people with high pressure, but some foods can increase blood pressure, causing long-term health risks.
Reasons for high pressure after eating
Some foods may cause an increase in blood pressure, especially in people with high blood pressure, and the most prominent of these foods are the following:
Sodium rich foods
Most processed foods and pre-made meals contain high amounts of salt or sodium. Sodium causes the body to retain extra fluid, which leads to high blood pressure.
People with high blood pressure or high blood pressure should try to limit their sodium intake, and avoid the following foods, which tend to be high in sodium:
Takeaway.
Canned vegetables and meat.
-Potato Chips.
Pickles and sauces.
-Saturated fat.
Eating a diet high in saturated fat also increases the risk of high blood pressure. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), saturated fat increases the amount of LDL cholesterol.
High levels of bad cholesterol cause fatty deposits called plaques to build up in your arteries. Plaque narrows the arteries, leaving less room for blood to flow. The heart compensates for this by pumping blood harder, which causes blood pressure to rise.
Examples of foods that are high in saturated fat include:
– Meat rich in fat.
Poultry with skin.
Fried foods.
– Ghee.
-Cheese.
Other dairy products.
