Third, it is cold jellyfish shreds
Cold jellyfish shreds, is also a common cold dish, many people think that it is low-fat and high-protein suitable for the elderly to eat, however, although jellyfish skin is rich in collagen, but its sodium content is very high, which is a potential threat to the cardiovascular system of the elderly, especially with high blood pressure, heart disease of the elderly should be more cautious to eat, high sodium diet for the cardiovascular system is very harmful, too much sodium content leads to the retention of water in the body to increase the blood volume thereby increasing the burden on the heart, resulting in increased blood pressure. In particular, the cardiovascular function of the elderly is weakened and they are more susceptible to the influence of a high-sodium diet, and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly with a high-sodium diet is significantly higher than that in the elderly with a low-sodium diet.
