One in three \u2013 that\u2019s how many adults in the US suffer from chronic high blood pressure. <\/p>\nOne in three \u2013 that\u2019s how many adults in the US suffer from chronic high blood pressure. <\/p>\n
What\u2019s even more startling than these stats is the cocktail of pills they have to consume on a daily basis. <\/p>\n
Thankfully, for these people, scientists from the University of Michigan have found a solution to this ever-growing epidemic that\u2019s sweeping the world, and the answer lies in one delicious-tasting fruit, which has even been dubbed as the \u201cmother of all antioxidants\u201d by some doctors.<\/p>\n
Grapes not only lower high blood pressure considerably, they also alter your genes, putting an end to your \u201cgenetic\u201d high blood pressure\u201d.<\/p>\n
The study saw scientists supplementing high amounts of grape extract powder in rat\u2019s high fat diets.<\/p>\n
The results were outstanding. <\/p>\n
The grape powder prevented the rat\u2019s hearts from becoming enlarged and the arteries from hardening, which typically happens in humans and animals that follow a high fat diet \u2013 it is also a common side effect of high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
Researchers can now say with confidence that grapes do not only lower blood pressure, but they also contribute to the prevention of heart failure.<\/p>\n
They then fed the grape-rich diet to rats with hypertension for 18 weeks, which resulted in the altering of the rat\u2019s genes. <\/p>\n
When the genes were altered, the grapes were able to provide the hearts cells with even more antioxidants, therefore preventing them from suffering from the effects of high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
Doctors recommend that people who suffer from high blood pressure should add a handful of grapes to their daily diet to prevent heart disease and stop their high blood pressure from spiralling out of control.<\/p>\n
