Patient's question:
Doctor, my father has high blood pressure. My friend said that eating celery can lower blood pressure. Hello, is it good to eat celery for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure patients can benefit from eating celery, as it has a natural blood pressure-lowering effect, especially the celery root. It can be used to boil water or steep it for drinking. Once diagnosed with high blood pressure, patients cannot be completely cured, but they must persist in taking oral medications to maintain stable blood pressure control. Additionally, they can make adjustments to their daily diet and lifestyle by choosing vegetables and fruits that help lower blood pressure. However, these should only serve as supplementary measures and cannot treat high blood pressure on their own. The final treatment should be determined based on the specific condition and medication. The dietary principles should follow a low-fat, low-salt, and low-cholesterol approach.
