A daily glass of this juice lowers blood pressure and helps avoid heart problems
Dr. Carrie Roxton, from the Center for Fruit Juice Science in Belgium, confirmed that consuming a lot of orange juice lowers blood pressure, and that regular consumption of this drink helps avoid heart problems.
She indicated that a daily cup of orange juice reduces systolic blood pressure by three millimeters of mercury and diastolic blood pressure by nearly 2 millimeters of mercury.
She added, "Both oranges and orange juice contain a vegetable polyphenol called hesperidin, which relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for the body to control blood pressure.
And it is absorbed from the juice more efficiently than from whole oranges, because the low amount of fiber in whole oranges prevents the body from absorbing hesperidin, and orange juice acts as a source of potassium that helps control blood pressure.”
According to the expert, “hesperidin” in the human body when digested turns into “hesperetin”, which is a new compound in our blood that helps relax blood vessels, which has a significant impact on blood pressure, especially in people at risk of cardiovascular disease. Express, and Sputnik.
