Patient's question:
My mother-in-law suffers from high blood pressure. Could you please help me clarify this for her? What kind of oil should people with high blood pressure avoid?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, high blood pressure patients are prone to developing hyperlipidemia, which exacerbates damage to blood vessels. Therefore, high blood pressure patients should follow a low-salt, low-fat, and low-sugar diet, and try to avoid greasy and spicy foods. Commonly, you can consume oils rich in unsaturated fatty acids. For saturated fatty acid oils like animal fats, it's best to eat them sparingly. Regularly check your blood lipids, and if necessary, take atorvastatin orally to stabilize your blood lipids.
