Can people with high blood pressure eat tomatoes?

Patient's question:

My recent relative was carefully diagnosed with high blood pressure. He asked me to check if it's okay to eat tomatoes with high blood pressure.

Doctor's answer:

Patients with high blood pressure can eat tomatoes because they are rich in nutrients. In addition to a large amount of vitamin C and some minerals, they can help soften blood vessels. Patients with high blood pressure should drink more water, get adequate rest, ensure deep sleep, and avoid staying up late. They should follow a low-sodium, low-fat diet, quit smoking, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables while avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, while also exercising regularly to reduce weight.
