Patient's question:
I would like to consult about whether patients with high blood pressure can eat things like yellow croaker. Although they are not supposed to eat salty foods, can they eat yellow croaker? The yellow croaker I'm referring to is fresh, not pickled. Can patients with high blood pressure eat yellow croaker? Will it cause a recurrence of high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertensive patients can consume yellow croaker, but it is not recommended to eat it in excess. Yellow croaker contains a very high amount of magnesium, which can pump potassium ions, affect sodium influx, and thus help reduce blood pressure in the body. Yellow croaker also contains high-quality protein, which can help maintain the potassium-sodium balance in the body. It is recommended that patients avoid excessive tension and excitement to prevent blood pressure from dropping. At the same time, it is also necessary to enhance nutrition, and the diet should be based on balanced nutrition.
