In a small study published recently in the Journal of Hypertension, a rare event happened where every single one of the participants were able to normalize their blood pressure- without drugs- using nothing but a common fruit extract.<\/p>\nIn a small study published recently in the Journal of Hypertension, a rare event happened where every single one of the participants were able to normalize their blood pressure- without drugs- using nothing but a common fruit extract.<\/p>\n
What is more amazing is the extract used and where it comes from. It\u2019s a fruit so common in the summer it\u2019s almost a crime not to eat it at picnics, at least in the US\u2026<\/p>\n
[adrotate group=”5″] It is typical to have at least one or two participants in a study this size to not show the results the others do, so when all 9 participants showed the same result, researchers were happily amazed.<\/p>\n
They took a group of men and women who had elevated blood pressure and gave them an extract from watermelon, called L-citrulline, in the amount of 6 grams every day for 6 weeks.<\/p>\n
The extract has an effect called improved aortic hemodynamics, and all 9 participants showed evidence of this at the conclusion of the study, lowering their blood pressure to normal without making any other changes in lifestyle or diet.<\/p>\n
Watermelon is an inexpensive summer fruit that is widely available all across the US at all seasons. <\/p>\n
