Pumpkin seeds are rated as a "powerful remedy" for reducing high blood pressure

Statistically, about a third of all adults live with high blood pressure, and many are unaware that they are hypertensive. Meanwhile, hypertension seriously affects health, eventually leading to kidney disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

It is widely known that one of the main causes of high blood pressure is the daily diet. Eating too much salt, not enough fruits and vegetables, and being overweight all contribute to high blood pressure.

At the same time, consuming healthy, natural, unprocessed or unprocessed foods helps to achieve optimal blood pressure. Doctors pay general attention to pumpkin seeds, which are evaluated by them as a "powerful natural remedy" that helps lower blood pressure.

In particular, the magazine Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice informed about the benefits of pumpkin seeds, which published the results of a study by an international group of specialists from the universities of the United States and Iran. Scientists have concluded that pumpkin seed oil can help lower both brachial and central blood pressure, and is useful for preventing high blood pressure in postmenopausal women.

In their opinion, regular use of pumpkin seeds for a long time is quite capable of reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving blood pressure indicators. A trial in women reported that consuming 3 grams of pumpkin seed oil daily for six weeks resulted in a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure.

According to various reports, pumpkin seeds are also useful for hair growth, lowering cholesterol, and strengthening the urinary tract.
