Watermelon extract helps fat people reduce blood pressure

Delicious watermelons have new achievements A new study shows that watermelon extract can help overweight people reduce blood pressure The researchers said that whether in a relaxed state or in a stimulating state (such as cold, etc.), some patients reduced their blood pressure due to the intake of watermelon extract Professor Arturo Figueroa of Florida State University led the study Figueroa found that some patients' aortic and cardiovascular pressure decreased after taking watermelon extract The motivation for the study came from the fact that most people who died of heart disease developed in cold weather, because low air temperature would cause the heart to work extra to send blood into the aorta, and at the same time, the blood supply of the heart itself was relatively insufficient in this environment, which made the high-risk group of heart disease, including those with high blood pressure or obesity, more severe In the environment of Professor Figueroa recruited 13 obese middle-aged men and women for a 12 week study who also had high blood pressure In the study, subjects were asked not to make too big changes to their diet, exercise or living habits They were divided into two groups, half of them were given amino acids extracted from watermelon, the other half were given placebo, and the two groups exchanged after six weeks After measuring the blood pressure of subjects in rest and "pressure" state (their hands were placed in ice water), Figueroa found that the aortic pressure and other vascular parameters of subjects who had taken watermelon extract were improved The findings add another health benefit to watermelons It is understood that Professor Figueroa has conducted a similar study to investigate the effect of watermelon on the vascular function of postmenopausal women and the blood pressure of adults with pre hypertension symptoms.
