Patient's question:
I have always had high blood pressure and I really dislike eating persimmons. My friend said I shouldn't eat them. Is it true that people with high blood pressure shouldn't eat pomelos?Doctor's answer:
Fruits like persimmons do not affect blood pressure and will never cause a recurrence of high blood pressure or lead to an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, in the case of high blood pressure, it is still possible to consume foods like persimmons. However, when experiencing gastrointestinal issues, it is necessary to avoid eating persimmons to prevent the recurrence of worsening gastrointestinal conditions.
