Is it good to skip dinner if you have high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Uncle is getting older and has high blood pressure. He doesn't like to eat dinner. Is it good for high blood pressure not to eat dinner?

Doctor's answer:

High blood pressure is not affected by not eating dinner, but it is harmful to human health. Because not eating dinner can easily lead to another period of fasting, which enhances the secretion of stomach acid, leading to gastrointestinal diseases, and it can also easily cause low blood sugar and affect deep sleep in the human body. Therefore, dinner is definitely necessary. Eat light and easily digestible food, don't eat too full, and avoid greasy and fried foods. Meals should be regular, with a low-salt and low-fat diet. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits is beneficial for controlling high blood pressure.
