Patient's question:
My father has had high blood pressure for twenty years, and now he also has high cholesterol. His weight has always been difficult to lose. He dislikes eating meat and seafood, and also dislikes drinking beer. Can people with high blood pressure eat seafood?Doctor's answer:
Seafood is rich in nutrients and low in fat, making it suitable for patients with high blood pressure. However, it should not be consumed in excess, as this may easily lead to protein allergies. Additionally, seafood is high in calcium, and consuming too much of it may increase the risk of high blood pressure. Patients with high blood pressure should follow a light diet. Avoid spicy, greasy, and stimulating foods, and pay attention to rest. Prevent emotional stress, as a positive mood is helpful for recovery.
