Can people with the three highs (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol) eat ginseng fruit?
Disease description:
Just now when I was playing downstairs, I saw someone selling honey tangerines (a kind of fruit, also called "renshenguo" in Chinese). I wanted to buy some, but I have the "three highs" (referring to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol). May I ask if people with the three highs can eat honey tangerines?

People with the "three highs" can choose to eat人参果 in moderation. 人参果 has low sugar and fat content, and is rich in vitamin C and various minerals, which can positively improve health conditions.
1. 人参果 has relatively low sugar content, which has minimal impact on blood sugar levels, making it suitable for diabetic patients to consume in moderation.
2. The potassium in 人参果 helps regulate electrolyte balance in the body and can aid in lowering blood pressure.
3. Rich in dietary fiber, it effectively helps manage blood glucose levels, promotes cholesterol reduction, and contributes to controlling blood pressure and maintaining normal lipid levels.
4. The vitamin C and other antioxidant components in 人参果 can effectively neutralize free radicals in the body, reducing the damage they cause and benefiting cardiovascular health.
Nevertheless, people with the "three highs" should still consume 人参果 in moderation to avoid excessive sugar intake. Additionally, it is recommended for individuals with the "three highs" to eat more fresh vegetables and consume an appropriate amount of whole grains in their diet.
