People with high blood pressure and low blood pressure can appropriately consume millet porridge. Millet is rich in nutrients and easy to digest; consuming an appropriate amount of millet porridge benefits overall health and does not negatively affect blood pressure. Individuals with fluctuating blood pressure (both high and low) should follow a low-salt, low-fat diet, eat more light foods, maintain an optimistic mindset, and engage in moderate exercise, which can help improve their symptoms.
