High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart and kidney diseases, stroke and heart failure. There are many factors associated with high blood pressure, including diet. Foods such as shrimp, eggs and beef are very popular in daily meals, so can high blood pressure eat these foods? High blood pressure eat what?
1. Can high blood pressure eat beef?
Eating red meat increases the likelihood of an early death. That's the finding of a very large and reliable clinical study just published in JAMA Internal Medicine. This study shows that eating red and processed meat is associated with an increase in total mortality, cancer mortality, and cardiovascular disease mortality.
They found that eating 4 ounces of red meat a day increased the risk of premature death, increased the risk of dying from cancer, and increased the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the authors recommend that it is time to reduce consumption of red meat, including beef, pork, and processed meats such as hot dogs, bacon and deli meats.
Red meat is really not good for your health. Red meat contains cholesterol and saturated fat. Cooking red meat produces cancer-causing compounds. Red meat contains a lot of iron, which is believed to promote cancer growth, and eating red meat has been linked to high blood pressure and increased blood cholesterol, which in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
However, you don't have to completely eliminate red meat. Instead, you should avoid eating it every day. If you eat meat twice a day and can cut it down to once a day, it will be healthier. If you cut it down to two or three times a week it will be even more healthy.
Not only will cutting down on red meat consumption be good for your personal health, it will also be good for the health of the planet. Because industrial meat production uses a lot of natural resources (more than growing vegetables), uses a huge amount of water, creates more pollution (including water pollution from runoff of waste and chemicals, and increases greenhouse gases from all methane excreted by animals), requires large amounts of pesticides on crops (such as corn) grown to feed animals, and requires the use of all antibiotics to reduce disease.

2. Can I eat shrimp with high blood pressure?
The United States Department of Agriculture states that 100 grams (g) of shrimp contains 189 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol.
According to the 2015 dietary guidelines for Americans, you should eat as little cholesterol as possible. However, this recommendation does not suggest a specific amount, but a person following a healthy eating pattern should consume about 100-300 mg of cholesterol per day.
In the past, doctors thought that all cholesterol was bad for health. However, experts now believe that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol can balance out the negative effects of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol, thereby leading to a healthy balance. In other words, good cholesterol HDL can help reduce the risk of heart disease when the body has high LDL cholesterol.
In 1996, a group of scientists found that eating shrimp increased LDL cholesterol levels, but HDL cholesterol levels also increased. They suggest that shrimp may support heart health rather than make the disease worse.
Foods high in saturated and trans fats can also raise LDL cholesterol levels. However, 100 g of shrimp contains less than 0.3 g of fat and most of this is unsaturated. In other words, the fat content of shrimp is unlikely to raise LDL cholesterol levels.
In a 2018 study, researchers noted that most foods high in cholesterol are also high in saturated fat, with shrimp being an exception. Shrimp contains less saturated fat but many other nutrients. The authors suggest that shrimp is a healthy food and does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. Can I eat eggs with high blood pressure?
A recent study included 21,300 male physicians and they were followed for 20 years, starting when the subjects were on average 54 years old.
Each year during the study, these men were recorded egg consumption, physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, vegetable and breakfast cereal consumption, diabetes, high blood pressure and use aspirin use.
Participants were not asked to change their normal diet. Typical participants reported eating one egg per week. Men who were older, heavier, less active, smoked, had high cholesterol, a history of diabetes and high blood pressure tended to eat more eggs.
Even after adjusting for other risk factors, men who ate seven or more eggs per week had a 23% higher risk of dying from any cause during the study. People with diabetes are at higher risk.
But egg consumption was not associated with an increased risk of heart attack or stroke, even among men who ate more than seven eggs per week.
