Pumpkin raises or lowers blood pressure?

Pumpkin can neither raise nor lower blood pressure.

Blood pressure refers to the pressure of flowing blood pressure on the blood vessel wall. The main ingredients in pumpkin are protein, dietary fiber, cucurbiturin, etc., which cannot change hemodynamics, so they cannot play the role of raising or lowering blood pressure. However, moderate consumption of pumpkin can promote gastrointestinal motility and provide sufficient nutrients to the body, which helps to improve immunity and prevent constipation.

For patients with blood pressure or blood pressure lowering needs, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time and take appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor.
