Patient's question:
My grandmother has high blood pressure. In a few days, it's her birthday, and I want to cook in the kitchen for her birthday celebration. I'd like to ask what vegetables can help lower high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It's a pleasure to serve you. According to the explanation provided, eating more vegetables is beneficial for lowering blood pressure, but relying solely on vegetables is not enough to treat high blood pressure. Elderly individuals with high blood pressure need to take antihypertensive medication. Vegetables that are particularly suitable for people with high blood pressure include: celery, chrysanthemum greens, spinach, onions, winter melon, chives, kelp, eggplants, etc. Be mindful not to consume excessive salt, greasy, or pickled foods. Strictly avoid smoking and alcohol, engage in regular exercise, and maintain a healthy weight.
