Patient's question:
I recently measured my blood pressure and found it high. Also, I want to eat sweet potatoes today. Can people with high blood pressure eat sweet potatoes?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if high blood pressure reoccurs, it is acceptable to eat sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes contain a relatively high amount of fiber, which can provide some help in lowering blood pressure. It is recommended that you consider eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid greasy foods. Pay attention to moderate exercise, actively reduce weight, and regulate physical and mental health. Maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
