Maintaining cardiovascular health depends on these five drinks 1. People with insufficient calcium intake in low-fat or fat-free milk are more likely to suffer from hypertension. It is recommended to drink more low-fat or fat-free milk. In addition, milk contains oligopeptides, which can reduce the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme and prevent blood pressure from rising.
2. Green tea Because green tea has not been fermented, it contains more tea polyphenols, which can soften blood vessels, reduce excessive blood lipids and help prevent arteriosclerosis and hypertension.
3. Corn silk tea Corn silk is the most commonly used medicinal part of the whole corn. Corn stigma is sweet and mild, and has diuretic, hemostatic, cholagogic and antihypertensive effects, so drinking corn stigma also helps to lower blood pressure.
4. Pomegranate juice has a good antioxidant effect, which can reduce the content of bad cholesterol in the body, reduce the risk of heart disease and help prevent stroke.
5. Luoshen scented tea Luoshen scented tea is very similar to pomegranate juice and has a good antioxidant effect. Within one hour after drinking Luoshen scented tea, the antioxidant capacity in the blood will reach a peak, which can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
The taboo of "drinking" hypertension Although the above-mentioned need to drink more tea has many benefits for hypertension, it should be specially reminded that the shade of tea is still poor. For example, the high caffeine content in strong tea is easy to cause emotional excitement, and the heart rate is accelerated, which will increase the burden on the heart and is not good for patients with hypertension. Therefore, it is recommended to choose light tea when drinking tea, and be careful not to drink too much.
