Blood pressure is the force that blood exerts against the walls of your arteries, according to Medline Plus, the US National Library of Medicine.
In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) indicated that it is estimated that there are 1,280 million adults between the ages of 30 and 79 with hypertension in the world, but only one in five hypertensive adults (21%) has the problem under control. .
Likewise, PAHO pointed out that a high consumption of salt, low consumption of fruits and vegetables, harmful use of alcohol and physical inactivity are the main risk factors for hypertension.
However, the National Institute on Aging – National Institutes of Health of the United States pointed out that there are other reasons, such as:
- Age. The chance of having high blood pressure increases as a person ages.

- family history. High blood pressure tends to run in some families.
- Raza. African Americans are at higher risk of developing high blood pressure.
However, high blood pressure has no symptoms and can be detected through medical examinations and, if detected, changes in habits must be made and a recommendation from the Urgent 24 portal is to consume kiwi, since “contains bioactive substances that can lower blood pressure.”
Additional, the Portuguese portal for health, nutrition and well-being your health pointed out that “by having good amounts of potassium, a mineral that promotes relaxation of the arteries and eliminates excess sodium from the body, kiwi helps prevent increased blood pressure, being an excellent option for people who suffer from arterial hypertension ”.
