Although there are many common medications to treat high blood pressure including beta blockers and A.C.E. inhibitors are more effective alternatives that include gromegranate juice, love flower and exercise.
There is evidence that gromegranate juice provides protection against heart disease. Although pomegranates (punica granatum) have been around for thousands of years, not much research has been done so far. Most of the research was done for the first time in Israel and is still ongoing. One of the first studies that received attention showed that pomegranate juice had antiatherogenic properties (a substance that inhibits atherogenesis, lipid accumulation of plaque in the inner lining of arteries) effects on healthy individuals and atherosclerotic mice that may be due to its antioxidant properties. . A few months later, results from a study conducted at the University of California showed three times more antioxidant activity than that of red wine and green tea.
Then, another study in Israel showed that gromegranate juice reduced the development of atherosclerosis in mice that already had atherosclerosis. The following month, results of another study showed a 36% decrease in ACE serum activity and a 5% decrease in systolic blood pressure in patients who drank pomegranate juice. Studies have concluded that pomegranate juice can provide extensive protection against cardiovascular disease that can be associated with its inhibitory effect on oxidative stress and serum ACE activity.
Over the past 5 years, more than 150+ studies and publications including pomegranate have been shown in the US National Library of Medicine's PubMed database, with findings showing many health benefits of this fruit. Probably the most important factor is the reduction of cardiovascular disease.
Another interesting study in March, 2005 examined the effects of pomegranate juice on samples of coronary artery cells attacked by people exposed to excessive in vitro stress (as it would in a person with high blood pressure), as well as in hypercholesterolemic mice. Studies have shown that the administration of gromegranate juice significantly reduces the progression of atherosclerosis, and that the proatherogenic effects caused by disturbed shear stress can be reversed with chronic management of pomegranate juice. The effect of this is that chronic administration of pomegranate juice may be effective in both the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.
The results of another 3-year study suggest that pomegranate juice lowers carotid artery-media and systolic blood pressure in patients with carotid artery stenosis.
In a recent article on pomegranates, published on PubMed on January 17, 2007, the authors state, "The past seven years have seen more than seven times as many books by Medline on pomegranate and Punica granatum as never before." They recognize that seeds, juice, peel, leaf, flower, bark and roots each have pharmacologic function. chronic inflammation is believed to play an important etiologic role. "
Passion Flower also shows promise of lowering blood pressure by regulating neurotransmitters of the nervous system that reduces anxiety. (Passiflora incarnata) was approved for medical use in Germany, France and other European countries for the treatment of anxiety disorders, and was simultaneously approved as a sedative and sleep-depriving drug in the US. Americans who submit data for safety and performance as required by the FDA, are therefore discontinued as a prescription drug.
Although passion flower is a native American plant, it has been more widely studied and used in Europe than in the United States. In Germany, France, and other European countries, it has been widely accepted as a treatment for emotional distress. Common love flower products contain flavonoids as the main chemical marker. Although flavonoids are generally considered to be the most active component of a plant, scientists have not been able to identify a single chemical compound or group of compounds responsible for its sedative action.
The flower of love raises the levels of a neurotransmitter known as gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), which lowers the activity of nerve cells in the brain, resulting in relief and relief from anxiety. It contains chemicals known as harmala alkaloids, which are thought to inhibit an enzyme involved in stress.
