5 Effective Ways to Lower Blood Pressure with One Remarkable Fruit
Have you had your daily dose of lycopene?
If you've enjoyed a green salad with fresh tomatoes, you not only boosted your intake of this powerful antioxidant but also took a big step toward lowering your blood pressure. A recent study in Israel confirms what heart-healthy Italians have known for centuries?"tomatoes and tomato sauce can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Dr. Esther Paran, head of the hypertension division at Soroka Medical Center, led this study involving patients who were not responding well to their hypertension medications. By adding a supplement of tomato extract, participants experienced a significant drop in blood pressure within just four weeks.
Why Tomatoes Are Effective
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that plays a vital role in heart health. Israeli company Lycomato has even developed hybrid tomatoes with higher concentrations of lycopene. Other antioxidants in tomatoes also help prevent heart disease by keeping LDL cholesterol from oxidizing, which can cause arteries to narrow and increase blood pressure.
However, consuming four whole tomatoes daily?"the recommended amount for significant benefits?"can be challenging. Here are some creative ways to incorporate tomatoes into your diet without eating them plain.
1. Make Chili
Use tomato puree as a base for your chili. This concentrated form allows you to enjoy the antioxidants without eating whole tomatoes. Add ultra-lean ground bison, kidney beans, minced garlic, onions, and cayenne pepper for a heart-healthy main course.2. Create a Tomato Pasta Sauce
Combine tomatoes, tomato paste, and olive oil to make a rich pasta sauce. Olive oil enhances the health benefits of tomatoes. Tomato paste offers more than ten times the nutrients of a single tomato.3. Enjoy a Fresh Salad
Top a fresh salad with a whole tomato to get a quarter of your daily recommended intake right there.4. Drink Tomato Juice
Homemade tomato juice is preferable, as you can control the sodium content. Commercial juices often contain high levels of sugar and sodium. Use a juicer to create a delicious veggie juice with carrots, celery, and low-sodium seasonings.5. Take a Tomato Supplement
If you're not a fan of tomatoes, a 200 mg supplement provides the equivalent of four tomatoes, making it an easy option.Conclusion
Incorporating tomatoes into your diet can reduce systolic blood pressure by 10 points and diastolic pressure by 4 points, as demonstrated in the Israeli study. No matter how you slice it, tomatoes will boost your immune system and help lower blood pressure.
