Many reasons you must take oranges (page4)



Lowers blood pressure

A study from Cleveland Clinic Heart Centre that looked at the effects of orange juice on blood pressure discovered that orange juice can reduce blood pressure.

In conducting his research, Dr. Dennis Sprecher from the department of cardiovascular medicine of the heart centre followed information gathered from the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) research, which showed a diet rich in fruits and vegetables could lower the rates for hypertension and stroke by 11 percent and 16.5 per cent, respectively. He asked 24 adult volunteers with borderline hypertension to drink two 8-ounce glasses of one of the following orange juice preparations each day for eight weeks.

The study’s finding was that as the 24 subjects progressed from a simple, unfortified orange drink, through orange juice prepared from concentrate, to whole juice fortified with vitamin C and potassium, the amount of blood vessel relaxation and drop in blood pressure became more significant.

The findings showed a reduction of up to 10 millimetres of mercury (mmHg) in systolic pressure, measured while the heart contracts, and a 3 to 4 mmHg drop in diastolic pressure, measured during the heart’s relaxation phase.
