Does eating walnuts affect high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I just turned 50 this year, and I've always felt that my body is quite good. But a few days ago, when I went to the hospital for a health check-up, I was surprised to find that I already have high blood pressure. I'd like to ask a few questions: Can people with high blood pressure eat walnuts?

Doctor's answer:

For patients with high blood pressure, the most important thing in terms of diet is to control salt intake and fat intake. Walnuts can be eaten in sufficient quantities. Eating enough walnuts can have a beneficial effect on the brain and calm the mind, but do not overeat. High blood pressure patients must take antihypertensive medication under the guidance of a doctor, regularly monitor blood pressure levels, and actively engage in physical activity to improve their physical condition. Do not smoke or drink alcohol.
