People with hypertension may benefit most from fasting, doctors say

Doctors stress that people with high blood pressure (hypertension) can benefit significantly from fasting. 

According to medical reports, fasting regulates blood pressure levels, thereby helping the individual avoid many ailments, most notably heart disease.

However, the main issue some patients face is the intake of blood pressure medication.

Therefore, medical consultation remains necessary, especially regarding the scheduling of medication to align with fasting.

Controlling blood pressure remains essential even while fasting.

Certain other diseases that intersect with high blood pressure may require the individual to adhere to specific medication schedules, thus necessitating breaking the fast.

Essential Tips:

Hypertension patients are advised to avoid using salt in food, as well as various salted foods, spices, carbonated drinks, and fatty or fried foods.

It is necessary to consume significant amounts of water, as a lack of water and minerals contributes to high blood pressure.

It is also recommended to consume fruits, milk, and various dairy products to maintain calcium levels, while avoiding peppers.

Specialists also highlight the necessity of weight reduction through exercise, avoiding anxiety and stress, and staying away from coffee and smoking.
