Patient's question:
My father hates eating things related to cows, but he has high blood pressure. Hello, can people with high blood pressure eat tripe?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypertension are better not to eat tripe, because tripe contains animal organs and has a high cholesterol content. Patients with hypertension often have high blood lipids and high blood sugar, so they should avoid foods high in cholesterol. Hypertensive patients should follow a light diet, low-salt and low-fat diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume more coarse grains. Medications to lower blood pressure should be used under the guidance of a doctor for symptomatic treatment.
