Helps lower blood pressure

When suffering from high blood pressure, in addition to following the doctor's instructions such as eating a low-salt diet, limiting animal fat, and avoiding stimulants, you can add chrysanthemum greens to your daily menu. Chrysanthemum greens can be cooked into vegetable soup or squeezed to get the juice and drink about 50ml at a time, divided into 2 times a day.

Good for the digestive system

Chrysanthemum greens contain many volatile substances that create a special flavor that helps increase saliva secretion, improve appetite. The amount of fiber in the vegetable also promotes intestinal motility, detoxifies the intestines, and prevents constipation.

Physician Bui Dac Sang said that although chrysanthemum greens have many uses, care must be taken when preparing and using them. People with diarrhea or stomach colds should not eat this vegetable because chrysanthemum greens are cool and contain a lot of water, which can make the condition worse.

Chrysanthemum greens are a type of vegetable that helps treat high blood pressure, so people with low blood pressure should not use chrysanthemum greens, as eating them can cause low blood pressure.

Before processing, we should wash but avoid crushing chrysanthemum greens because it can easily cause the loss of vitamins, especially water-soluble vitamin C.

In addition, normal people should not eat too much chrysanthemum greens, only about 100-150g each time and no more than 3-4 times/week, because regardless of any food, if abused, it will be harmful to health.
