Hypertension
is a chronic disease. It is defined by an increase in pressure in the arteries.
Cardiologists talk about the benefits of certain fruits for heart health.
In
fact, in addition to a healthy, balanced diet, certain fruits can be
particularly good for protecting or defending against high blood pressure.
Bananas
Bananas
contain 320 mg of potassium, a mineral that is essential for the functioning of
muscles such as the heart. A diet rich in potassium is therefore recommended
for people with high blood pressure. It is renowned for its ability to reduce
the effects of sodium in the body and ease the tension in blood vessel walls.
Orange
Oranges
are an excellent source of vitamin C and flavonoids, antioxidants that
contribute to cardiovascular health. Vitamin C improves endothelial function,
i.e. the inner lining of blood vessels. This helps vasodilate and reduce blood
pressure.
Avocado
Avocados
contain dietary fibre and unsaturated fats, both of which are linked to
cardiovascular health.Avocados also contain potassium, which helps to offset
some of the harmful effects of sodium on blood pressure.Whether for breakfast,
lunch or dinner, don't hesitate to include avocado in your diet.
Kiwi
fruit
A
good source of vitamin C, kiwi fruit can help reduce blood pressure in people
suffering from primary hypertension. In fact, kiwifruit alone almost covers the
recommended daily allowance of vitamin C, which is around 100 mg for an
adult.It is also one of the richest fruits in potassium.
Dates
Rich
in potassium, dates are perfect for cleansing blood vessels and helping to
prevent blood clots. In fact, they contain no sodium, making them the perfect
fruit for regulating blood pressure.Dates can also increase blood flow, thanks
in particular to the magnesium they contain.
