Can people with hypertension eat pig's brain?

Patients with hypertension are generally advised not to consume brain tissue, such as pig brain.

Brain tissue contains high levels of cholesterol and fat. Long-term and excessive consumption may potentially lead to elevated blood lipid levels, which can affect blood pressure control and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, especially for individuals with chronic conditions such as hypertension. Therefore, patients with hypertension are advised against consuming brain tissue. In daily life, hypertensive patients are encouraged to focus on overall dietary structure. Their diet should follow the principles of low salt, low fat, and low cholesterol, with increased intake of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. They should also consume adequate amounts of high-quality protein sources such as fish, lean meat, and soy products.

In addition to dietary management, individuals with hypertension are also advised to control their blood pressure through regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption. To a certain extent, comprehensive lifestyle interventions can more effectively control blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications.

To maintain good health, it is recommended to maintain a balanced diet and appropriate intake levels while paying attention to bodily responses, avoiding excessive consumption or eating when inappropriate.
