Patient's question:
My father has high blood pressure and has been taking antihypertensive medication regularly. Recently, he has been feeling quite good. I'm wondering what precautions he should take regarding his diet. I'd like to ask the doctor if patients with high blood pressure can eat nori?Doctor's answer:
Nori contains vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin B12, B1, A, C, and E. The protein it contains is similar to that of soybeans and is 6 times higher than that of pork. Its vitamin A content is 67 times higher than that of milk, riboflavin is 9 times higher than that of mushrooms, and vitamin C is 70 times higher than that of cabbage. It also contains choline, carotene, and thiamine, which have the effects of tonifying the kidneys, nourishing the heart, lowering blood pressure, and promoting human metabolism.
