Patient's question:
People say that the placenta is very nutritious and can boost energy and benefit the kidneys. After my wife gave birth, I asked the hospital to take the placenta home so we could cook it and eat it as a supplement. However, I have high blood pressure, so I wanted to ask the doctor if people with high blood pressure can eat the placenta?Doctor's answer:
If you have high blood pressure, as long as you keep your blood pressure under normal levels, it should be fine. However, it's best not to eat this placenta casually, because aside from a large amount of hormones, consuming it may trigger changes in the endocrine system. Therefore, it's best not to eat too much and to decide based on your own situation. Under normal circumstances, it is not advisable to eat placenta.
