Can patients with hypertension and diabetes eat sesame paste?

Hypertensive and diabetic patients can consume sesame paste in moderation, but should pay attention to controlling the intake amount. Sesame paste, as a traditional food, is rich in protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, calcium, and other nutrients. Moderate consumption can help relieve constipation, improve skin health, nourish the blood, benefit the eyesight, and delay aging. Patients with hypertension generally can consume sesame paste, but should monitor their intake. Some components in sesame paste may even help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, thus preventing cardiovascular diseases. However, sesame paste also contains a certain amount of sugar and vegetable oils. Excessive intake may lead to excessive calorie consumption, which can be converted into body fat, causing obesity and negatively affecting the control of blood pressure and blood glucose levels. This is especially important for patients with both diabetes and hypertension, as they must be vigilant about blood glucose fluctuations.

Therefore, hypertensive and diabetic patients should control their sesame paste intake and avoid long-term excessive consumption. At the same time, they should follow medical advice, pay attention to dietary adjustments, choose foods that are low in salt, low in fat, and low in sugar, and regularly monitor their blood pressure and blood glucose levels to ensure stable condition.
