Patient's question:
My husband usually has high blood pressure, and it has recently gone even higher. He has been eating a lot of winter melon these days. Can people with high blood pressure eat winter melon?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if high blood pressure reoccurs, it is acceptable to eat winter melon. Winter melon has the effects of reducing swelling and promoting diuresis, which can provide certain help in controlling blood pressure. It is recommended that you consider eating more fresh fruits and vegetables as much as possible. For example, sweet potatoes, which can be quite helpful. At the same time, avoid overeating greasy foods. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
