Red Grapefruit Juice to Lower BP and Cholesterol
Posted on
It is not well known that grapefruit (particularly red grapefruit) can naturally lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
This is surprising because a small 2006 Israeli study clearly demonstrated a link between grapefruit consumption and reductions in both blood pressure and cholesterol. While it was a small study and 10+ years ago, the logic still holds that eating red grapefruity can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol (for details, see my post, Grapefruit Pros and Cons.)
Why the lack of information about how to naturally lower blood pressure and cholesterol with grapefruit? A jaded view would say it’s easier for doctors to prescribe statins and/or blood pressure medications.
