Patient's question:
My deep sleep condition is particularly poor. I often can't fall asleep at night. Sometimes I only sleep two or three hours a night, and I also have a lot of dreams. Moreover, I have high blood pressure. Can patients with hypertension eat longans?Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive patients can eat longans, and the nutritional content of longans is quite rich. However, longans have a high sugar content, so it's best not to eat too many of them. Longans have the functions of nourishing the heart, calming the mind, enriching blood, and strengthening the spleen. They also have effects such as lowering the immune function of the body, reducing blood lipids, increasing coronary blood flow, and enhancing physical fitness. Hypertensive patients with a spleen deficiency and blood deficiency type can also take them orally.
