For many years, honey has been mistakenly considered a "golden food" by some people with high blood pressure. This belief stems from the fact that honey contains a significant amount of potassium, which some believe helps with digestion, protects blood vessels, and even aids in lowering blood pressure. However, this is a common misconception.
According to Associate Professor Yang Shengli from the Armed Police General Hospital, consuming honey to lower blood pressure is actually a misunderstanding. While it's true that honey contains potassium, it also has a high sugar content, which can be harmful for individuals with hypertension. The high sugar levels can lead to spikes in blood glucose and contribute to other cardiovascular risks.
Dr. Yang explained that potassium plays a crucial role in managing hypertension, heart disease, and arteriosclerosis. Once ingested, potassium helps the body excrete excess sodium, which can help regulate blood pressure and maintain a healthy balance of electrolytes. For patients who take diuretics, potassium loss is common, making it even more important to replenish it through proper dietary choices.
However, there’s no need to rely on honey for potassium intake. Many everyday foods are rich in potassium, such as bananas, spinach, sweet potatoes, and celery. These can easily be incorporated into a balanced diet to support overall health without the added sugars found in honey. Making smart food choices is key to maintaining stable blood pressure and long-term well-being.
