Patient's question:
A relative has high blood pressure. It is said that there are six types of fruits that people with high blood pressure should not eat. Which are the six fruits that are not suitable for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Patients with high blood pressure can generally eat most fruits, such as persimmons and apples. The fruits that patients with high blood pressure should not eat in excess mainly include watermelon, grapes, and pear. This is because watermelon is diuretic, and consuming too much of it can lead to a rebound effect on blood pressure reduction. Grapes contain a high sugar content, which can cause blood sugar to rise, potentially leading to hyperglycemia and further exacerbating high blood pressure. For example, citrus fruits, pears, grapes, and pomegranates are not advisable to consume in large quantities.
