Can high blood pressure be supplemented with calcium?

Patient's question:

Can high blood pressure be supplemented with calcium? Why are middle-aged and elderly people more prone to high blood pressure? Do patients with high blood pressure need to pay special attention? How to treat high blood pressure is the most effective? Any good suggestions?

Doctor's answer:

Hypertension can be adequately supplemented with calcium. Through dietary therapy, consuming more dairy products and legume foods can help with calcium absorption. As age increases, arteriosclerosis may recur, leading to abnormal blood vessels and the re-emergence of hypertension. It is important to maintain a low-sodium, low-fat diet, consume less greasy and fried foods, keep a positive mood, engage in appropriate physical activity, and lower the body's immunity. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral antihypertensive medication should be taken regularly, and blood pressure data should be monitored.
