No, eating melon can't lower blood pressure. Many friends have asked whether a certain food can lower blood pressure before, and the answer is only one: eating any food can not lower blood pressure. No matter what kind of food contains a little calories and carbohydrates, no matter how subtle their influence on blood sugar is, it is also a booster effect. It can only be said that the "boost index" of food is low and the total sugar content of food is low. They raise blood sugar slowly, or the range of lowering blood pressure is very low, but they have never eaten food that can lower blood pressure, and wax gourd is no exception. It seems light and greasy, but it has no effect on lowering blood pressure.

However, wax gourd is a good vegetable for people who love sugar. It is low in energy, fat and carbohydrate. 100g wax gourd contains only 2.6g carbohydrate, which makes the sugar rise slowly. Moreover, wax gourd also contains a certain amount of dietary fiber, which helps to inhibit the absorption of sugar and is good for controlling sugar and fat. Sugar friends can eat some melons if they want.

But personally, it is not recommended to eat too much wax gourd. Although wax gourd is low in calories and fat, it is very suitable for weight loss, but its nutritional value is actually dwarfed by many vegetables. There are many kinds of minerals in wax gourd, but the contents are not very impressive, including a small amount of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc, and the higher content is potassium. 100g wax gourd contains about 78mg of potassium, which has many effects on human body.

Another advantage of potassium is that it can interact with sodium ions to form a "potassium-sodium pump" in the body. When we eat too much salt and heavy food, potassium ion can promote the metabolism of sodium ion, balance the ion concentration and prevent the aggravation or occurrence of hypertension symptoms. It is a good food for patients with hypertension. If diabetes has other friends with three high symptoms, it is good to eat some melons properly. However, there are many vegetables rich in potassium, and the ones with higher content than wax gourd are much better. Don't stare at the melon. Vegetables must be rich in variety, especially green leafy vegetables, which are very nutritious.
