Cranberry juice can effectively inhibit Helicobacter pylori, resist bacterial gastric ulcer, has strong antioxidant effect, can reduce low-density cholesterol and triglycerides, and is especially suitable for women. Drinking more than 350 ml of cranberry juice or cranberry nutritional supplements every day is very helpful to prevent urinary tract infection and cystitis.
According to the data of USDA, 56 healthy adults with an average age of 565,438+0 participated in this randomized trial. One group drank about 227 grams of low-calorie cranberry juice at breakfast and dinner every day, and the other group drank a placebo with similar color and taste. All participants' other diets are provided by research institutions, which can keep their weight stable and keep the error to a minimum.
After observing the volunteers for 8 weeks, the researchers found that the diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure of people who drank cranberry juice decreased from the initial average of 74 mm Hg to 765,438+0 mm Hg and from the initial 65,438+022 mm Hg to 65,438+065,438+09 mm Hg. There was no change in the placebo group.
Janet novotny, who led the research, said that the antihypertensive effect of cranberry juice may come from the antioxidant content in this juice. Cranberry juice is a good choice if you want to regulate your blood pressure through diet.
