Patients with cerebral infarction can generally eat cantaloupe, and whether they can eat it depends on which underlying diseases the patient has. The most common underlying diseases in patients with cerebral infarction are three highs, which are hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Patients with hypertension mainly need a low-salt diet and cannot eat overly salty food, so there is no contraindication to eating sweets. Patients with hyperglycemia should not eat sweets and should minimize the intake of energy and calories, so if they are patients with cerebral infarction with diabetes, they should not eat cantaloupe. Patients with hyperlipidemia require a low-fat diet, cannot eat fatty meat, try not to consume animal fat, and eating cantaloupe is not affected. If the patient has swallowing dysfunction and may have difficulty in swallowing or choking when eating solid food, care should be taken not to inhale into the airway by mistake when eating cantaloupe, which may cause the patient to choke.
