How I Wish It's Still Okay For Me To Eat Sea foods

I have hypertension but it is well controlled with medication so I can eat whatever I want although I try to avoid things that I know are bad for me. I could not completely give up shellfish as I love them way too much. I come from a state (Maryland) that is known for it's steamed blue crabs and I grew up with them so there's no way I could give them up entirely. Eating them occasionally should not give you a stroke unless your blood pressure is extremely high and not controlled by medication. One thing I love is tuna salad. I don't know what it is but every time I eat tuna I get a really bad headache. No one has been able to give me a reason as it is not a normal symptom of an allergy or intolerance. Still, I love tuna so I do eat it. I just keep in mind that I will be getting a headache so I don't eat it if I have to go out anywhere or if I am out. As long as I'm home and have nothing important to do, I'll eat and enjoy my tuna salad. I just remember to have the aspirin nearby.

That is really too bad--crab and shrimp are delicious! I wonder what the connection is between shellfish and hypertension? I know they can be problematic for people with high cholesterol, but I have never heard of problems relating to blood pressure. is it the fact that they contain iodine? Very curious. . .

I hope you could also eat those yummy foods.Anyway, you should keep yourself healthy.Deviations could lead to worst outcomes.Just look for other delicious options

Hi bing, I know a technician from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, he was our team leader during seaborne patrols. He was assigned to Paguil Bay in Misamis Occidental where crabs and shrimps are abundantly cultured. When I saw him again during one of our refresher courses, I was amazed for he moved and talked like an old man only to find out he had a stroke from, you guessed it, eating a lot of crabs and shrimps. I don't really believe that sea foods can cause hypertension but the way you put it, I was reminded of the man who ate a lot of crabs. I have no chance to eat such seafood here, they cost a fortune so I just go for the ordinary fish sold around town such as tuna and sardines, I feel no side effects so far.

Oh my, not being able to eat seafood would be torture for me. I'm glad I don't have any food allergies or illness that would limit what type of food I can eat.

So sorry for you. It is really a sad thing that you can't eat seafood. I know how you feel. I am a person who like to eat meat and seafood a lot. Each meal I would have meat or seafood. If I didn't eat them some time, I would really miss them.Then I have to eat meat to my content, otherwise i can't focus on.I know that it's good to eat more fruit and vegetables. Considering the health problem, I try to keep a balanced diet.But i think it's impossible for me to quit meat.
