A member asked:

My mom have hypertension n rheumatism,her doctor said not to eat meat and most of veggies. so what she should eat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor is wrong: That advice makes no sense. There is no evidence that dietary restrictions are helpful other then salt restriction in people who have hypertension. Eating vegetables should be encouraged, not prohibited.

Dr Kleerekoper agreed
