TALLAHASSEE —A recent study conducted at Florida State University and published in theAmerican Journal of Hypertension found that eating watermelon could significantly reduce high blood pressure (hypertension).
The study included 13 participants who suffered from high blood pressure. The researchers followed them for 12 weeks; the participants were divided in half. One group consumed watermelon, while the other group did not.
The team found that those who consumed watermelon significantly lowered their blood pressure levels, compared to those who did not consume the watermelon.
According to the researchers:
“Consuming natural foods can independently help to lower blood pressure and facilitate risk reduction to prevent potentially fatal chronic illnesses including stroke and cardiovascular disease.”
;If you are interested in preventing or lowering your high blood pressure, you might want to consider adding watermelon to your daily diet.
Have a great day.
