Patient's question:
Recently, I often felt my heart racing and had dizziness. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have high blood pressure. I usually dislike cooking with lard, and now I'm a bit hesitant to use it. Is it good for people with high blood pressure to eat lard?Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive patients should avoid eating lard, as it is not conducive to the body's full recovery. Cooking oil should preferably be soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, or peanut oil, and the diet should be low in salt and fat. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and try not to eat animal organs as well. It is recommended to consume more foods rich in potassium, such as tomatoes, spinach, and soybeans. Pay attention to food hygiene.
