For recurrent hypotension after spinal cord injury, dietary therapy should focus on repairing the spine and addressing low blood pressure. To repair spinal injuries, it is recommended to consume soups such as Sanqi Rehmannia lean meat soup, Lycium turtle soup for kidney nourishment, and stir-fried yam with lion's mane mushroom, which help repair nerves, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relieve pain, and reduce swelling. For low blood pressure, eat foods that replenish qi and nourish blood, such as red dates, goji berries, and longan.
