Hello doctor,
I have high blood pressure. So the doctor asked me if people with high blood pressure should drink lemon and orange juice? Because I see people say should drink, people say shouldn't. Please advise, thank you.

Hi friends,
With the question “Should people with high blood pressure drink lemon and orange juice? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Blood pressure is called high when the systolic blood pressure is greater than 140 mmHg or/ and the diastolic blood pressure is greater than 90 mmHg. Thus, hypertension can only increase systolic blood pressure, or only minimally increase blood pressure, or increase both.
Blood pressure is a value that always changes depending on many factors such as food, water, mental and physical state, activity or rest,... Currently, there are many scientific studies. Studies have shown that lemon juice or orange juice contains a fair amount of potassium, vitamin C, riboflavin, magnesium and other phytonutrients that have a good effect on people with high blood pressure.
So, you can use lemon juice, orange juice. However, you should not overdo it, especially those who have digestive problems such as stomach ulcers,...
If you still have questions about high blood pressure, you can go to a hospital of System Health. Vinmec for further inspection and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
