To talk about blood pressure, it is important to first note that the heart, a vital organ of the human body, beats about 200,000 times a day. With each heartbeat, blood is pumped through the veins, which cause this liquid to be distributed throughout the body.
According to the Spanish Heart Foundation, “blood pressure is the force that blood exerts against the walls of the arteries when pumped by the heart. Blood pressure is highest when the heart contracts, pumping blood, and is called systolic pressure. When the heart is at rest, between beats, blood pressure drops and is called diastolic pressure.
However, blood pressure and its failure to function has become in recent years one of the diseases that causes the most deaths in the world. Likewise, and with respect to this issue, it is known that Approximately half of the world’s hypertensive population is not adequately controlled, even though it is known that blood pressure control reduces the incidence of stroke by 40% and myocardial infarction by 25%, according to the Hypertension Council of the SAC (Argentine Society of Cardiology).
Taking into account the above and the role that the blood vessels play in this process of pumping blood through the body, it is important to control the level of cholesterol in the blood, since excess cholesterol can clog veins and arteries.
For its part, it should be noted that cholesterol is one of the molecules that the human body uses for its own benefit. But if this is not controlled and its levels in the body are not monitored, especially in the blood, excesses can cause health complications and more of a cardiovascular type.
But cholesterol is not bad, so it is important to recognize that this substance helps the production of hormones and proteins important for the functioning of the organism.
That said, there are alternative health experts who recommend different products and recipes to control cholesterol levels in the body and thus also help maintain ideal blood pressure.
Pomegranates or granadillas, as they are colloquially known, are very rich in nutrients such as folate and vitamin C, but in addition to these great substances they have anti-inflammatory effects, which positively contribute to the circulatory system and the heart.
This juice helps reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Mix the contents of a pomegranate together with a glass of 250 milliliters of water. Put this in the blender and when you notice a homogeneous solution, the juice is ready.
It is recommended that this drink be taken at any time of the day.
