Patient's question:
I have had high blood pressure for over ten years, and besides diabetes, I have been controlling it quite well these years. But now that I am getting older, I want to try some health supplements. Hello, what kind of health supplements are good for elderly people with high blood pressure and diabetes? I'm afraid that taking them might have adverse effects on my body, so I'd better ask first.Doctor's answer:
Actually, there is no need for elderly people with high blood pressure or high blood sugar to take health supplements. A scientific lifestyle is sufficient. Additionally, consuming foods rich in protein and vitamins that promote regular bowel movements is important. Each person should consume 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily. Also, the main meal should not be less than 100 grams per meal. Adopt a meal distribution system, avoid high-calorie foods, and do not drink beverages. Health supplements can be harmful to a certain extent.
