Patient's question:
My grandmother just carefully checked and found she has high blood pressure. She must control her diet. Can people with high blood pressure eat MSG?Doctor's answer:
If you carefully examine and confirm the diagnosis of hypertension, it is important to follow a low-fat, low-sodium diet. It is not recommended to consume excessive seasonings, so MSG (monosodium glutamate) should also be avoided. It is still advisable to maintain a light diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and take antihypertensive medications regularly. Monitor your blood pressure levels at fixed intervals and maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent emotional excitement. Pay attention to your personal habits and ensure a healthy diet.
