4. High blood pressure is a common clinical condition, often seen in middle-aged and elderly people. People with high blood pressure should pay attention to their diet and control their blood pressure. Foods can be used as auxiliary treatment to control blood pressure. Fish are rich in nutrition, but can people with high blood pressure eat fish? Details to be understood.

1. The nutritional value of fish is beyond doubt. Most fish meats are favored by the elderly for their rich nutritional value and tender and delicate texture, and are often used as ingredients in our home cooking. However, it should be noted that elderly patients with chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia should avoid choosing fish with high cholesterol content.

2. It is not uncommon for the elderly to suffer from chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. These common diseases are closely related to excessive intake of fat and cholesterol. Therefore, patients with these diseases should pay more attention to their diet. Generally speaking, foods with a cholesterol content of more than 200 milligrams per 100 grams are known as ‘high-cholesterol foods’ in medicine. For example, pork contains about 69 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams, mutton contains about 60 milligrams, chicken contains about 80 milligrams, while the cholesterol content of silver carp is as high as 361 milligrams, eel is about 177 milligrams, loach is about 136 milligrams, snakehead is about 126 milligrams, and cod is about 114 milligrams.

3. It can be seen that fish with high cholesterol content, such as silver carp, eel, loach, snakehead, cod, and so on, are better for the elderly to eat less. It is necessary to strictly control the daily intake of cholesterol, with less than 300 milligrams being the most ideal. It should be especially noted that the cholesterol content in fish roe is higher than that of various fish meats, with about 400 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams. It can be said to be a health killer for the elderly.
