Patient's question:
Patients with hypertension need to interfere with the absorption of fat and cholesterol. In addition, patients with hypertension should pay attention to drinking more water and engaging in appropriate activities. Can patients with hypertension drink glucose?Doctor's answer:
When glucose is metabolized by liver cells, it increases the excretion of liver glycogen, thereby enhancing the metabolism of glucose in muscle and fat cells. Excess blood sugar is converted into fatty acids and triglycerides in the liver and fat tissues. In fact, in the daily lives of patients with hypertension, details such as drinking more water, engaging in sports, and quitting smoking and drinking are common, but the continued worsening of this disease is often due to our neglect of these details. Glucose can increase blood lipids, so hypertensive patients should eat less.
