Hypertension is a condition of the body with increased pressure. Unlike hypertension, hypertension is a symptom of a pathological condition, and not an independent disease. You can cope with it with the help of proper nutrition and certain drinks.

In a study conducted by a group of Spanish scientists, it is said that fortified orange juice can reduce the risk of hypertension “after one cup”.

The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of orange juice with natural hesperidin content and orange juice enriched with hesperidin on blood pressure. Hesperidin is a plant compound found in citrus fruits, experts explain.

For the study, participants received 500 ml of this drink per day for 12 weeks. Scientists have found that a “single” dose (500 ml) of orange juice enriched with hesperidin reduces systolic blood pressure.

In addition, Dr. Christine Moran, a member of the Scientific Council of the Food Research Department of the National Institute of Agricultural Research in France ( Institut national de la recherche agronomique, INRA) conducted a study that showed that hesperidin in orange juice acts as an antioxidant and affects the activity and functioning of blood vessels. Scientists have associated this substance with a decrease in general blood pressure and a decrease in the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases.
