Patient's question:
My mother-in-law is a patient with hypertension. Recently, her health has been poor, and now she has caught a cold. I want to cook some nourishing soup for her to help her recover. I want to know if hypertensive patients can drink chicken soup?Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive patients can appropriately consume a lot of chicken in their daily diet, but it is best not to provide animal fat during cooking. Try to eat more foods that contain more inorganic salts, high fiber, and a variety of different vitamins, and try to increase salt, low calories, and low fat. Fresh seasonal fruits can be eaten more. Try to avoid eating animal liver, kidneys, heart, and lungs, etc. Long-term alcohol consumption can increase the hormone level of sebum and lead to hypertension. It is best to stop drinking beer. Normally, you can take antihypertensive drugs orally according to your doctor's advice to control blood pressure, and you can also eat more celery.
