Patient's question:
I have a history of high blood pressure for many years, and there are many taboos in my diet. But can people with high blood pressure eat propolis?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of hypertension in patients is the decline in vascular elasticity due to atherosclerosis, which increases blood flow resistance. It may also be related to hereditary factors across generations or kidney disease-induced renal hypertension. The control measures for hypertension primarily involve adhering to appropriate medication, paying attention to diet, and maintaining a low-sodium, low-fat, light, and easily digestible diet. It is also important to keep a positive and calm mood and control weight. Bee propolis can be consumed in very small amounts, but it should not be overeaten.
