They strongly recommend adding spinach to this dish. This product immediately contains a number of substances that improve the work of the heart and blood vessels: potassium, folic acid, magnesium.

The average decrease in blood pressure in the group receiving spinach was -6.93, while in the group receiving asparagus it was -2.28.
