People with hypertension can usually eat pumpkin seeds in moderation, not excessive consumption.

Can hypertensive people eat pumpkin seeds?

Pumpkin seeds contain more vitamin C, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, trace elements and other ingredients. After eating in moderation, people with hypertension can not only provide the body with the required nutrients, but also promote gastrointestinal motility, improve metabolic capacity, help the body clear free radicals, and help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels. However, pumpkin seeds are rich in oil, if excessive consumption, will increase the burden on gastrointestinal tract, causing delayed gastric emptying, so that hypertensive people appear dyspepsia, abdominal distension and other discomfort symptoms.
