Patient's question:
Dad is getting older and has some elderly diseases. When he went to the hospital for a thorough check-up two days ago, he still had high blood pressure, so the doctor asked him to stay there for the night to closely monitor his condition. After coming home, he was given medicine, and then Mom also gave Dad some brown sugar water.Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive patients can generally drink brown sugar water, provided their blood sugar is not high and they do not have a history of diabetes. As long as their blood sugar is normal, they can drink brown sugar water, so you don't need to worry about it. Patients with high blood pressure should follow a low-sodium diet, engage in appropriate physical activity, take their medication on time as prescribed by their doctor, and can control their blood pressure within the normal range. Eating more vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in vitamins and minerals can also help with the condition.
