Control blood pressure with 3 types of natural juices

NGUYỄN LY |

Amaranth juice, pomegranate juice... are foods that help stabilize blood pressure effectively.

In the context of high blood pressure gradually becoming a "silent killer" causing many strokes and heart attacks each year, cardiologist experts encourage people to increase the use of natural foods to support blood pressure control. In particular, some familiar fruit juices in the daily diet can effectively contribute to stabilizing blood pressure, if used properly.

Amaranth juice

According to research published in hypertension Journal, beetroot juice contains high nitrate content, which when entering the body will be converted into nitric oxide, a substance that can dilate blood vessels and improve blood circulation. After only 3-4 hours of drinking beetroot juice, cardioversion can decrease by 4 to 10 mmHg in people with early-stage hypertension.

British nutritionist, Dr. Emma Derbyshire, recommends drinking 250ml of beetroot juice every day in the morning without adding sugar. People being treated for blood pressure should consult a doctor before using it regularly.

Pomegranate Water

Pomegranate is a fruit rich in polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins - powerful antioxidants that help protect blood vessel walls, reduce inflammation and improve blood vessel elasticity. A study from "Clinical Nutrition" showed that people who drank whole pomegranate juice every day for 2 weeks had an average reduction of 5% in their subjective blood pressure index.

For effectiveness, you should choose pure pomegranate juice, without added sugar and drink about 100-150ml/day. People with diabetes or metabolic disorders should use pomegranate in a controlled way.

Fresh orange juice

Oranges are a rich source of potassium, a mineral that plays a role in balancing sodium in the body, thereby helping to regulate blood pressure. In addition, oranges also contain hesperidin, a flavonoid that helps improve endothelial function and reduce arteriosclerosis.

A glass of fresh orange juice (about 200ml) in the morning not only helps control blood pressure but also provides vitamin C, increasing resistance. However, avoid using canned orange juice because it is often high in sugar and preservatives.

Notes when using fruit juice to support blood pressure

You should drink it whole, without adding sugar. Do not replace blood pressure medicine with juice, it should only be used as a supportive measure. Patients need to monitor their blood pressure regularly and follow the doctor's treatment regimen.

Dr. Linda Van Horn, nutritionist and cardiovascular disease prevention at Northwestern University (USA), emphasized: Smart nutrition can significantly reduce the risk of high blood pressure. However, it is important to combine healthy foods with an active lifestyle and comply with medical treatment.
