Q. My husband is 35 years old. He is under medication for high BP and cholesterol. Kindly help with the diet.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Diet plan for your husband is as follows:

• Do not use table salt, i.e, avoid using salt for him over and above what you use in cooking vegetables and other dishes.

• Avoid pickles/white bread/soups/noodles/any kind of food requiring excessive preservation/lentil cakes (papad or appalam), chutneys and indigenous powders (churans).

• He must not take alcohol more than 2 pegs a day (in case he drinks). It would be better to quit the habit.

• He should do daily exercise under supervision of physician.

• Must try to keep his weight under control (Body Mass Index BMI- 23).

• Avoid sweets/fried items/saturated fats/pure processed carbohydrates like potato chips etc.

• Diet should have fibers/vegetables/nuts/legumes/ fruits/low fat dairy products.

• Try to do meditation and yoga.

• He should quit smoking (In case if he smokes).

Hope this helps.
