How
To Use Grapefruit
To Lower High Blood Pressire?
|
Heart
disease is the number one killer of women. If you are a women, and even
if your not, here is what you need to start doing.
The
food you eat is critical in determining if you will have high blood
pressure and if you can lower it. Eating less meat and eating more
fruits and vegetables can lower your blood pressure.
High
blood pressure occurs when fats, cholesterol, and nutrients in the food
you eat start to accumulate along your artery walls. This narrowing of
your arteries restricts the flow of your blood, increases your blood
pressure and making you more susceptible to heart attacks and strokes.
If
you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high trigylcerides,
grapefruit has been found to reduce the effects of these conditions.
So
which is better yellow or red grapefruit? Well, in a study made where
people who had a history of high cholesterol, those that ate the red
grapefruit had the most effect in lower their blood pressure. The
yellow also lowered blood pressure but not as much as the red
grapefruit.
It
was found in this study that grapefruit had a better effect in lowering
blood pressure than statin drugs.
Red
grapefruit are extra high in anti-oxidants and these nutrients are able
to reduce your trigylcerides: the yellow are not.
Eat
the red grapefruit when available and when it is not eat the yellow.
Eat at least one - two per day. If you eat ½ just before
your meal or drink a glass of fresh grapefruit, you can expect to lose
1 or 2 lbs during the month. By eating 2 grapefruits a day expect to
lose more weight.
Eating
grapefruit has many health benefits, but one other is in controlling
your insulin level. Studies have shown that those that eat grapefruits
have lower insulin and glucose levels in their blood.
It
is believed by researchers that grapefruit enzymes help to control
insulin increases that happen after you eat. These enzymes help digest
your food better and this results in less nutrients being stored as fat.
Grapefruit
has also been found to be caner preventative. It's the phytonutrients -
antioxidants - and especially lycopene that has been found helpful in
preventing cancer.
Grapefruits
are high in fiber, vitamin C, Vitamin A, and antioxidants -
carotenoids, limonoid glucosides, flavonones.
You
can buy red and yellow grapefruits from November to May here in the US.
If you don't have any in your area go online and order some.
CAUTION:
If you are on any drugs, do not eat grapefruits in combination with
taking drugs. Grapefruit enhances the effect of drugs and can cause
symptoms of overdose.
