Patients with hypertension can eat cherries. Cherries do not affect blood pressure, and they contain more potassium ions, so eating foods, fruits and vegetables with high potassium content can help lower blood pressure. However, the main cause of hypertension is the alteration of neurological and humoral factors in the body, causing an increase in blood pressure. Diet does not have much therapeutic effect on blood pressure, but if the diet is improper, such as high salt and high fat diet, it can easily lead to further increase in blood pressure. Patients with hypertension are encouraged to eat more fruits and vegetables and less food with high salt content because fruits contain more potassium ions, which can antagonize the effect of elevated blood pressure and, to a certain extent, can lower blood pressure, but patients with hypertension should focus on taking antihypertensive drugs for treatment.
