                    0.969 ->  Let's talk about the 5 worst fruits to avoid
if you have high blood pressure, and the best
5.97 ->  fruits to lower blood pressure.
8.09 ->  Today, we're going to discuss an important
topic that affects millions of people worldwide:
13.639 ->  high blood pressure.
15.54 ->  This condition, also known as hypertension,
occurs when the force of blood against the
20.01 ->  walls of your arteries is consistently too
high.
23.45 ->  This can damage your blood vessels, heart
and kidneys, leading to serious health issues.
28.72 ->  So, it's important NOT to brush off high blood
pressure, just because you don't see any symptoms.
34.579 ->  The only way you can detect high blood pressure
early is through regular monitoring or tests.
40.14 ->  You can then take the necessary steps to get
this silent killer under control.
44.829 ->  Now, let's get into the fruits you need to
avoid if you're trying to lower your blood
49.27 ->  pressure.
50.46 ->  While fruits are generally considered healthy,
some types of fruit are very rich in sugar
55.05 ->  and salt and can contribute to elevated blood
pressure levels.
59.82 ->  Let's start with Number 5.
61.76 ->  "Fruit Juices."
63.289 ->  Things can take a not-so-healthy turn when
fruits are converted into juices.
68.189 ->  While fruit juice is generally healthy, it
may not be beneficial for people with high
72.34 ->  blood pressure.
74.5 ->  In one study, central systolic blood pressure
(cSBP) was found to be 3-4 mm Hg higher in
80.33 ->  individuals who regularly consumed fruit juice
compared to those who did not.
85.67 ->  Central systolic blood pressure is the pressure
seen by the heart, the brain, and the kidneys.
91.71 ->  Fruit juices, as compared to whole fruit,
have a high concentration of both naturally
96.03 ->  occurring and added sugars.
98.31 ->  Take the example of orange juice.
101.11 ->  Oranges are considered healthy because they’re
rich in fiber, minerals, and vitamins.
106.09 ->  When converted into juice, they lose all of
the fiber, so you’re just drinking a glass
110.35 ->  of sugar or fructose.
113.09 ->  Commercial fruit juices sold in stores are
worse; they contain added sugars, like sucrose
118.509 ->  or corn syrup.
120.06 ->  The high consumption of sugary beverages,
such as soda, energy drinks, and fruit juice,
125.009 ->  significantly contributes to the rising prevalence
of hypertension and fatty liver disease in
129.97 ->  developed countries.
131.79 ->  Now, let's briefly look at how excess sugar
increases blood pressure.
136.33 ->  First, a high-sugar diet increases inflammation
and oxidative stress.
142.07 ->  This damages the lining of blood vessels and
causes plaque to accumulate, blocking your
146.88 ->  blood flow.
148.23 ->  Second, fructose increases uric acid in your
blood, which blocks the production of nitric
153.3 ->  oxide, a molecule that relaxes and opens blood
vessels.
157.83 ->  When there's less nitric oxide, your blood
vessels narrow.
161.569 ->  This leads to higher blood pressure.
163.76 ->  Third, excess sugar increases blood pressure
indirectly through insulin resistance and
169.3 ->  being overweight.
171.3 ->  Are you enjoying the information?
173.42 ->  Make sure you like, share and subscribe and
click on notifications so you never miss a
179.03 ->  video.
180.35 ->  Next, we have, Number 4.
183.129 ->  "Crystallized or Candied Fruits."
185.7 ->  Dried fruits are highly nutritious because
they contain natural sugars.
190.16 ->  However, candied fruits contain high amounts
of added sugars.
194.58 ->  Eating dried fruit in moderate amounts supports
good heart health and regulates healthy blood
199.19 ->  pressure.
200.5 ->  Studies have found that prunes and raisins
are rich sources of fiber and antioxidants
205 ->  that may help in lowering blood pressure.
208.099 ->  On the other hand, candied fruits contain
high fructose corn syrup and have been shown
212.47 ->  to damage blood vessels and impair their ability
to regulate blood pressure.
216.4 ->  They are made by boiling fruit in syrup so
that the fruit loses its natural moisture,
221.97 ->  dries up and eventually substitutes the water
with sugar.
225.97 ->  Similarly, crystallized fruits, such as crystallized
ginger, are typically made by cooking ginger
231.939 ->  root in sugar syrup and then coating it with
sugar.
235.739 ->  This means that a very high amount of added
sugar is entering your system, which can raise
240.549 ->  your blood pressure levels.
242.799 ->  Candied fruits are just like candies.
245.739 ->  And at Number 3, we have, "Grapefruit."
248.95 ->  Grapefruit contains natural compounds that
may interfere with the absorption of cholesterol,
253.54 ->  diabetes and blood pressure drugs.
256.739 ->  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns
that various hypertension medications, both
261.54 ->  prescription and over-the-counter, may interact
negatively with grapefruit or grapefruit juice.
268.06 ->  It may cause either too much or too little
of the drug to remain in your system, both
272.88 ->  of which are dangerous.
275.22 ->  Research has shown that grapefruit increases
the dosage of medication entering the bloodstream,
280.229 ->  by inhibiting the enzyme CYP3A4 in the intestinal
tract.
285.419 ->  This can cause undesirable effects.
287.789 ->  So, if you’re on any blood pressure medication,
you should ask your doctor whether you can
292.26 ->  take grapefruit.
293.97 ->  Moving on, we have Number 2.
296.11 ->  "Canned Fruits."
297.539 ->  Fruit cans are often lined with a chemical
called bisphenol A (BPA), which causes your
301.47 ->  blood pressure to go up.
303.81 ->  According to new research, a 5-millimeter
rise in systolic blood pressure (SBP) was
308.31 ->  associated with consuming two cans of fruit.
312.07 ->  Systolic blood pressure is the top number
and refers to the amount of pressure experienced
316.38 ->  by the arteries while the heart is beating.
319.569 ->  In addition, canned fruits are less nutritious
and contain added sugars and sodium.
324.699 ->  Picture this – you're enjoying a bowl of
canned peaches or pears, but something is
329.01 ->  lurking behind that syrupy sweetness: excess
sodium.
333.71 ->  Consuming too much sodium can lead to water
retention, putting extra strain on your blood
338.03 ->  vessels and increasing blood pressure.
340.979 ->  If you’re trying to control high blood pressure,
you'll want to give canned fruits a miss.
346.05 ->  This includes "canned vegetables", such as
tomatoes, beans, peas, sweet corn, and olives;
352.58 ->  these "vegetables" are technically fruits!
356.389 ->  And Number 1 may come as a surprise.
358.64 ->  "Ripe Bananas."
360.71 ->  Bananas are well-known as a rich source of
potassium, a mineral that lowers blood pressure
365.59 ->  by relaxing the walls of blood vessels.
369.15 ->  Potassium also helps the kidneys excrete excess
sodium instead of retaining it.
374.15 ->  However, high-potassium foods can interfere
with blood pressure medications, such as ACE
378.75 ->  inhibitors and beta-blockers, that increase
your body's retention of potassium.
384.16 ->  Too much potassium in your blood is dangerous
and can cause an irregular heartbeat or heart
389.18 ->  attack.
390.259 ->  Furthermore, ripe bananas are high in sugar
and can cause blood pressure to spike.
395.68 ->  As bananas ripen, the starches are broken
down into natural sugars.
400.24 ->  So, if you're going to eat bananas, go for
green bananas which have less sugar.
405.61 ->  And talk to your doctor if needed, to avoid
unwanted complications, especially if you
410.371 ->  have kidney issues.
412.42 ->  There you have it – 5 fruits to avoid if
you have high blood pressure.

424.479 ->  Now, you may be wondering: What are the fruits
that can lower blood pressure?
429.389 ->  Let's look at 5 fruits.
431.46 ->  So, Number 1 is "Citrus Fruits."
435.05 ->  Citrus fruits, such as oranges, and lemons
contain flavonoids like hesperidin, which
440.099 ->  have been linked to lower blood pressure levels.
443.19 ->  They are also loaded with fiber, potassium
and vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects
447.8 ->  cells from damage and helps repair artery
walls.
451.86 ->  Vitamin C also helps boost nitric oxide production,
which in turn lowers blood pressure.
457.34 ->  Next, Number 2 is, "Berries."
460.669 ->  Berries, like blueberries, raspberries, and
strawberries, offer heart health benefits
465.61 ->  similar to citrus fruits.
467.58 ->  A review of clinical studies published in
2020 found that different kinds of berries,
472.909 ->  whether they were whole, freeze-dried, or
made into juice, lowered systolic blood pressure
477.68 ->  (SBP) by more than 3 mm Hg.
480.3 ->  In this study, cranberry juice had the most
effect on SBP.
485.21 ->  At Number 3, we have "Kiwifruit."
488.05 ->  Kiwifruit is loaded with high amounts of vitamin
C, fiber, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidant
494 ->  flavonoids.
495.73 ->  In one study, a group of 43 healthy Asian
individuals in New Zealand discovered that
500.599 ->  their blood pressure was reduced by 2.7 mm
Hg after eating two kiwis for breakfast every
507.08 ->  day for 7 weeks.
509.259 ->  Next, Number 4 is, "Avocados."
511.419 ->  Avocados are packed with heart-healthy nutrients
that include oleic acid, potassium, folate,
518.529 ->  and fiber.
520.05 ->  One study published in 2023 showed that the
consumption of 5+ avocado servings a week
525.51 ->  is associated with a 17% effective decrease
in the rate of high blood pressure.
532.01 ->  And Number 5, is "Apples."
534.69 ->  Apples are a great source of fiber and quercetin,
an antioxidant that studies have shown to
539.18 ->  relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
543.07 ->  Eating 100-150 grams of apples per day decreases
blood pressure, total and LDL cholesterol,
549.76 ->  inflammation and cardiovascular risk.
553.17 ->  High blood pressure, if left undetected or
unmanaged, can cause damage over time.
558.74 ->  It's important to be aware of the potential
consequences, which may include:
563.63 ->  Heart Attack: Damaged arteries can become
blocked and prevent proper blood flow to the
568.079 ->  heart muscle.
569.49 ->  Stroke: The blood vessels that supply oxygen
and blood to the brain can become blocked
574.97 ->  or burst.
576.88 ->  Heart Failure: Increased workload on the heart
can cause it to enlarge and eventually fail
581.98 ->  to supply enough blood to the body.
584.87 ->  Kidney Disease or Failure: Damaged arteries
around the kidneys can impair their ability
589.36 ->  to effectively filter blood.
592.11 ->  Vision Loss: Strained or damaged blood vessels
in the eyes can result in vision loss.
598.46 ->  Sexual Dysfunction: For men, hypertension
can contribute to erectile dysfunction, while
603.791 ->  for women, it may affect libido.
606.57 ->  Angina: High blood pressure can contribute
to heart diseases such as microvascular disease
612.13 ->  (MVD), which manifests as chest pain.
615.05 ->  Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Atherosclerosis
can narrow arteries in the legs and arms,
621.04 ->  resulting in pain and fatigue.
623.68 ->  Hypertensive Crisis: This medical emergency
occurs when blood pressure rapidly rises above
629.3 ->  180/120, potentially causing organ damage.
634.3 ->  Symptoms include blurry vision, dizziness,
severe headaches, nosebleeds, shortness of
639.43 ->  breath, chest discomfort, and anxiety.
640.97 ->  Remember, an anti-inflammatory diet and an
active lifestyle is key to managing your blood
648.39 ->  pressure effectively.
