Patient's question:
My grandmother has high blood pressure. Today, she suddenly wanted to eat purple sweet potatoes. Can people with high blood pressure eat purple sweet potatoes?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypertension can eat purple sweet potatoes because the anthocyanins in them have antioxidant properties. They should follow a low-sodium diet and adopt a light diet habit. Consume foods with less fat. Eat less or avoid foods high in fat. Increase the intake of vegetable oils and reduce the consumption of animal fats. Alcohol and strong tea are strictly prohibited for patients with hypertension, and spicy and refined foods should be avoided. High-calorie foods should be limited. The harm of hypertension to the whole body's target organs is invisible and intangible.
