Reasons why citrus fruits are good for blood pressure

Kiều Vũ (Theo AHA) |

citrus fruits such as oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, and lemons provide abundant vitamins and are beneficial for controlling blood pressure.

Scientific studies have shown that regular consumption of citrus fruits can help reduce blood pressure and improve cardiovascular function.

One of the important ingredients in citrus fruits is vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and protect blood vessels from damage caused by free radicals. Research shows that daily vitamin C supplementation can help lower subjective blood pressure by 3-5 mmHg in people with high blood pressure.

Fruits in bags contain potassium, an essential mineral that helps balance the amount of sodium in the body. When sodium levels are high, the body retains water, increasing blood pressure. Potassium has the opposite effect, helping to release sodium through urine and dilate blood vessels. According to the American Heart Association, increasing potassium-rich foods, such as oranges or grapefruits, can help lower blood pressure naturally.

Another factor is that flavonoids in the skin and fruit juice with bags have the ability to improve the elasticity of blood vessels and increase blood circulation, thereby contributing to lowering blood pressure.

However, it should be noted that grapefruit juice can interact with some blood pressure drugs, so you should consult a doctor before using.

Incorporating citrus fruits into your daily diet not only provides essential nutrients but also actively supports blood pressure control, contributing to protecting cardiovascular health naturally and effectively.
