Patients with hypertension can eat fava beans. The dietary management of hypertensive patients is most emphasized clinically on low salt diet and light diet, and the low salt standard refers to a daily salt intake of <6 g. The main components of nuts and fava beans are vegetable protein and dietary fiber, and vegetable protein and dietary fiber are beneficial to hypertensive patients. In life, fava beans are often fried, and hypertensive patients try to avoid eating a fried diet, but fava beans themselves are not contraindicated. For hypertensive patients, there are no contraindications to the intake of vegetable protein, dietary fiber, and moderate intake of grains and carbohydrates, including meat and eggs. In general, patients are advised to take low-salt, low-fat, light and well-digested food intake, and minimize the intake of spicy and stimulating, heavy and poorly digested food, as well as fried and deep-fried food, beef, pork and mutton. Patients can intake fish, chicken and duck meat, while chicken skin and duck skin should be reduced for hypertensive patients due to their high cholesterol content. In addition, patients should strictly manage smoking and drinking. Some people think that blood pressure will come down after drinking, but it is actually a transient phenomenon with the effect of blood vessel expansion. And after drinking alcohol blood pressure will rebound instead, so avoid this situation. Patients can eat fava beans in their diet, and other foods can be eaten as long as they master scientific cooking methods.
