Patient's question:
Daughter bought some longan dried and brought them home. I have high blood pressure. Can people with high blood pressure eat longan dried?Doctor's answer:
Hello:It is a pleasure to serve you. Based on the information you provided, if your blood sugar is not high, it is okay to consume longan dried in moderation. However, longan dried is a warming fruit and should not be eaten excessively. Once diagnosed with hypertension, it is essential to consistently take antihypertensive medication to control blood pressure and avoid complications. A low-sodium, low-fat diet is recommended for hypertension, along with an increased intake of vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in potassium and calcium but low in sodium, such as potatoes, eggplants, kelp, and lettuce.
Calcium-rich foods include milk, yogurt, etc.
