Patient's question:
My boyfriend's relative has high blood pressure. During the Chinese New Year, we bought a few geese from the village and wanted to give him one. However, we're concerned that eating geese might negatively affect his health due to his high blood pressure and heart condition. Could you please advise if people with high blood pressure and heart conditions can eat geese? Would it affect their heart health?Doctor's answer:
High blood pressure and heart disease can consume geese. There is no interference with this, and it will never interfere with the heart. If you have high blood pressure and poor heart health, it is generally advisable to follow a light diet, focus on eating more vegetables and fruits, and maintain a calm mood. Avoid strenuous exercise. Consuming geese will not interfere with high blood pressure, but it may easily affect high blood lipids. It is essential to carefully monitor lipid levels and avoid overeating or consuming high-fat, greasy foods.
