Hello, patients with hypertension can consume a very small amount of braised pork, but it is not advisable to eat too much, as braised pork is a food high in fat and calories. Eating too much can easily lead to fluctuations in blood pressure and increased blood viscosity. The daily diet of patients with hypertension should be based on a light diet. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, etc. It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. The above suggestions can be used as a reference.
