Patient's question:
Doctor, I bought a lot of goji berries yesterday and heard from others that eating them has many benefits, but my mother has high blood pressure. Could you please tell me if goji berries are safe for someone with high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Goji berries are a medicinal herb that nourishes the kidneys and replenishes kidney yin. They do not have a significant impact on blood pressure. Goji berries possess excellent nourishing properties, so they can help regulate kidney function to a certain extent. High blood pressure in patients is primarily related to various factors such as endocrine imbalances and electrolyte and water imbalances in the body. Consuming goji berries will never affect blood pressure, so patients with high blood pressure can appropriately include goji berries in their diet.
