HEALTH BENEFITS OF PINEAPPLES:
(1)
PREVENTS HYPERTENSION
High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of stroke, heart
disease, kidney failure and premature death. High blood pressure leads to
hypertension and the reason is because it measures the force or pressure of
your blood as it pushes against the walls of your arteries when your heart
pumps.
If this pressure goes up and stays
up, this is high blood pressure and over the course of time it will cause
damage to your body.
The pineapple diet for hypertension is said to help due to the fact that
it contains higher amounts of potassium and lower amounts of sodium.
An increase of potassium intake by approximately 1.8–1.9 g a day has
proved to lower the blood pressure of hypertensive subjects so that the average
fall in systolic blood pressure is approximately 4 mmHg and that in
diastolic pressure, about 2.5 mmHg.
Taking potassium supplements lowered
systolic blood pressure and lowers your chance of developing heart disease.
