Blood pressure lowering effects of mustard greens

Kiều Vũ (Tổng hợp từ AHA & NIH) |

Green mustard has the ability to help lower blood pressure thanks to its special nutritional components.

First of all, mustard greens contain a large amount of potassium, an important mineral that helps balance electrolytes and maintain stable blood pressure. According to the World Health Organization, potassium plays a key role in lowering blood pressure by helping to relax blood vessels and balance the amount of sodium in the body, thereby reducing blood pressure. A serving of mustard greens can provide a significant amount of potassium, which can help improve high blood pressure in people at risk.

In addition to potassium, mustard greens are also rich in fiber and flavonoids, two factors that help lower blood pressure. Fiber helps control weight and stabilize blood sugar, thereby indirectly having a positive effect on blood pressure. Flavonoids, especially quercetin, found in mustard greens have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, reduce blood vessel tension and lower blood pressure.

Additionally, mustard greens are a good source of B vitamins, especially vitamin B6, which helps regulate the nervous system and reduce stress and anxiety – factors that can increase blood pressure. Adding vitamin B6 to your diet may help control blood pressure in people with symptoms of hypertension.

However, to achieve optimal blood pressure control, the use of mustard greens should be combined with a healthy diet, including limiting salt, exercising regularly and reducing stress.
