Patient's question:
It is said that people with high blood pressure should avoid eating white radish, as it is considered to be "deflating." It can cause the body's qi to be expelled through flatulence. However, I think if I want to eat something, a small amount should be fine. I would like to consult whether people with high blood pressure can eat braised pork ribs with white radish.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it appears that high blood pressure can be managed by consuming white radish, as it is a high-fiber vegetable. It is important to pay attention to eating more fresh fruits and vegetables regularly. Avoid excessively greasy foods and focus on increasing exercise. Actively work on reducing weight. If necessary, consider taking antihypertensive medication for active treatment.
