Patient's question:
Can hypertensive patients drink wine soaked in mulberry? I used to take a nap every day, and my hands and feet were always very cold. Drinking some mulberry wine helped me sleep warmly at night. However, after being told I had high blood pressure, I became unsure whether I could still drink it, as it is an alcoholic beverage.Doctor's answer:
For patients with high blood pressure, drinking a small amount of mulberry wine occasionally has no effect on blood pressure. If the amount consumed is particularly large, it is not advisable, as it may potentially increase blood pressure. Consuming no more than one or two taels daily is beneficial to the body, promoting blood circulation and alleviating blood stasis, which can enhance peripheral circulation. Drinking a large amount of this wine may stimulate the heart rate and raise blood pressure, which is not advisable. The above information can be used as a reference.
