Patient's question:
Tonight, Grandma stewed pig trotters to eat. They were so delicious, Grandpa ate a lot of them. But Grandpa has high blood pressure. Hello everyone, can people with high blood pressure eat pig trotters?Doctor's answer:
For patients with general hypertension, it is important to follow a low-sodium and low-fat diet in their daily meals. This mainly involves eating less salt and avoiding high-fat foods, but it doesn't mean they cannot eat them at all. As long as they don't consume excessive amounts, there is no problem. If your grandfather has hypertension, he can eat pig trotters because they are rich in collagen, which is very beneficial for health. However, he should not eat too much, as excessive consumption may lead to arteriosclerosis.
