Watermelon
Watermelon is a juicy, slightly sweet fruit that helps to quench thirst and cool down effectively. This is also a food with natural diuretic effects, rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The characteristic red color of watermelon comes from lycopene - a powerful antioxidant compound that is beneficial for heart health.
Not only does water help hydrate the body, watermelon also helps maintain fluid balance and can help reduce cardiopulmonary and dialysis in people with high blood pressure. This fruit contains amino acids that help increase the production of nitric oxide, an important protein that dilates blood vessels and improves blood circulation.
Celery
Celery is a crispy, fiber-rich vegetable, containing many essential minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium, and has a very high water content, accounting for about 95%.
Celery contains two active compounds, 3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) and apigenin. These substances have a mild diuretic effect, helping the body eliminate excess water without causing an imbalance of sodium and potassium. At the same time, it supports dilation of the vessels, thereby contributing to natural blood pressure reduction.
