Patient's question:
Grandma likes to eat fermented bean paste with breakfast in the morning. Grandma isn't in good health and suffers from high blood pressure. Can people with high blood pressure eat fermented bean paste?Doctor's answer:
Those with high blood pressure should avoid fermented tofu because it contains a high amount of salt. Excessive salt intake can lead to an increase in blood pressure, which is not conducive to blood pressure control. In addition to fermented tofu, other pickled vegetables should also be avoided. It is recommended to follow a low-sodium diet and consume more light and foods, which are beneficial for controlling blood pressure. Long-term high blood pressure can have a significant impact on the body.
