Patient's question:
My grandmother has high blood pressure, and she dislikes eating chicken. I would like to ask the doctor if people with high blood pressure can eat chicken?Doctor's answer:
The foundation of treatment for patients with hypertension is dietary and exercise therapy, primarily involving a low-fat, low-sodium diet. Meat foods generally require avoiding the consumption of red meat while allowing for moderate intake of white meat. Red meat typically refers to pork, beef, and lamb, while white meat includes chicken, ducks, and fish. Therefore, chicken can still be consumed appropriately depending on the situation, but it is important not to overeat.
