High Blood Pressure Diet Plan Tips and Diet Chart

A controlled diet can help a lot if a person is suffering from high blood pressure. Here we will discuss some common diet tips, diet plan and finally a good diet chart to help High Blood Pressure patients maintain a controlled blood pressure.

High Blood Pressure Diet Tips

Make least use of salt in your diet.

High sodium diet increase blood pressure. So not only salt but also other food materials which contain sodium should be avoided.

Fruits should be eaten as much as you can. They are high in potassium, magnesium and fiber, which are good for blood pressure patients. Sodium is negligible in fruits.

Legumes, nuts and seeds are also good source of magnesium.

High Blood Pressure Diet Plan

Prepare a diet plan which is low in fat and salt. Make a plan for complete week, so that the diet is rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

Quantity of sodium should be 2300mg per day. But if your age is above 51 years then it should be around 1500mg per day.

Always plan food items to shop. Give time to prepare the list and then stick to that list while shopping. Sometime we shop a lot of junk food if we are shopping in an unplanned manner. Junk food is most unhealthy way of diet. A blood pressure patient should be aware of his/her diet and don’t eat junk food.

High Blood Pressure Diet Chart

Prepare a diary and make entry of your daily diet. In long run it can help you in diagnosing which food item is having bad impact on your health and then you can reduce or stop taking that particular food item.

Arterial Blood Gas Values Chart ABG Values and Meanings

Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)

Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are the main gases dissolved in our blood. There is more oxygen in arterial blood, while there is more Carbon Dioxide in Venous blood. Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) test measures the acidity (pH) and levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. The normal values of ABG differ in people living at different height from sea level. So normal values of ABG in New York might differ from normal ABG values in Washington DC. We will provide Arterial Blood Gas Value chart for people living at sea level. If your ABG differ from it, then refer to normal value shown by the lab in your locality. Dont conclude a result after checking the values in your ABG test report. If you find the values differ a lot, then its better to get it verified by a doctor.

Sometimes we try to know what is the meaning of ABG test values. Here we will try to tell the meaning of Arterial Blood Gas Values. Arterial Blood Gas test measures the following things in blood. We are providing the normal range of their values for those people living at sea level height.

Arterial Blood Gas Values Chart

Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2): Greater than 80 mm Hg (greater than 10.6 kPa)
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2): 35–45 mm Hg (4.6–5.9 kPa)
pH: 7.35–7.45
Bicarbonate (HCO3): 22–26 mEq/L (22–26 mmol/L)
Oxygen content (O2CT): 15–22 mL per 100 mL of blood (6.6–9.7 mmol/L)
Oxygen saturation (O2Sat): 95%–100% (0.95–1.00)

Which conditions can affect your Arterial Blood Gas Values

If you are having abnormally high or low body temprature, i.e. Fever or hypothermia.
Anemia or polycythemia which affects the oxygen carried by blood.
Active or passive smoking just before test can affect test adversely.
A closed room which is freshly painted or varnished can also affect the result.
