Grapes - good remedy against high blood pressure
Researchers at the University of Michigan's Cardiology Institute say eating grapes can help protect the heart against high blood pressure - a consequence of excessive salt intake - and reduce cardiovascular diseases.
Tests were conducted on a number of rodents, all of which had a high salt diet to facilitate cardiovascular disease. However, only one group was given grape powder (green, red and black), while the other group received high blood pressure medication.
The test results showed that the blood pressure of the group ate grape flour was lower than that of the other group, while the heart also performed better and especially less cardiovascular damage.
Meanwhile, the other group using high blood pressure medication also limited the disease but suffered more cardiovascular damage than the group that ate grape powder.
According to Dr. Steve Bolling, a cardiologist at the University of Michigan, this result proves that grapes - like other fruits and vegetables - have many effects, especially the ability to lower blood pressure. high.
Researchers have found flavonoide, an antioxidant and has the ability to lower blood pressure in all parts of grapes (shells, meat and seeds).
Dr Bolling said: "The animals in this study, like the case of many people, suffer from heart failure due to high blood pressure - a consequence of a salty diet."
He advises that people with high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases should combine eating a lot of grapes with older treatments.
