Patient's question:
My husband has been eating salty and greasy foods for dinner since he was young, and he has been suffering from high blood pressure. Lamb is not as greasy as pork, so I feel it might be okay to eat, but I'm not quite sure. So, I wanted to ask if people with high blood pressure can eat lamb?Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive patients can eat lamb, but it is essential to have a sufficient bowel movement. It is absolutely necessary to avoid excessive consumption to prevent weight gain and a drop in blood pressure. Additionally, hypertensive patients must strictly control their diet, focusing on low salt, low fat, and low cholesterol. The diet should be light and nutritious, with an emphasis on consuming fresh fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation caused by extremely cold, greasy, or foods. Moreover, hypertensive patients should avoid exposure to excessively cold or hot environments.
