Dr. Li Man
Hypertensive patients should plan their daily diet according to the stability of their blood pressure. If blood pressure is stable, they may occasionally consume foods that are high in oil, salt, or otherwise strongly stimulating, such as hot pot or barbecue. However, if blood pressure fluctuates frequently, it is best to maintain a light diet for an extended period, follow a low-salt principle, and eat more foods with blood pressure-lowering effects, such as celery and mung beans.
