Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN)–Can a lot of lemon and pomegranate cause high blood pressure? If you think so, the Gulf Health Council, through its official account on the “Instagram” website, recently clarified the truth regarding this rumor.
To begin with, the high pressure is determined by the amount of blood that is pumped to the heart, while noting the resistance of the arteries.
The more blood the heart pumps and the narrower the arteries, the higher the blood pressure.
Many people promote the rumor that lemon and pomegranate are associated with high blood pressure.
How true that?
The Gulf Health Council explained that there are many studies that have proven that pomegranate and lemon do not cause high blood pressure.
Conversely, they may contribute to lowering blood pressure in the short and long term.
What is the best way to prevent high blood pressure?
It is very important to stick to healthy food and reduce the amount of salt. It is also recommended to eat 5 portions of fruits and vegetables daily.
It is also recommended to reduce the amount of caffeine and to consume it in moderation.
Finally, be sure to stop smoking.
