Patient question
How should I organize my food diary for my doctor or dietitian during blood pressure management?
Answer reviewed by Liu Jihong, Chief Physician
Professional answer
Keep a record of the main foods, snacks, drinks, takeout, and pickled or preserved foods you consume each day, noting the approximate types and times. Also mark any foods that are significantly different from your usual diet. The key is to show your real eating habits; do not change your diet just for the record. Specific dietary adjustments should be recommended by a doctor or nutrition professional based on your individual situation.
