The Science
Beef chuck is high in total fat (6% DV per 100g) and provides no fiber, which can contribute to weight gain and arterial stiffness, worsening hypertension. While it contains potassium (8% DV) and magnesium (5% DV) that may help blood pressure, the lack of fiber and high saturated fat content outweigh these benefits for managing high blood pressure.
Recommendation
Limit intake of beef chuck and choose leaner cuts or plant-based proteins with fiber to better support blood pressure control.
