Eating more fruits and veggies can lower blood pressure and improve heart health

Eating more fruits and vegetables could help lower the risk of heart and kidney disease, a study finds.

Diets high in fruits and vegetables are associated with lower blood pressure and reduced cardiovascular risk, according to a new study. The study, which was published in the journal Hypertension, found that people who ate more fruits and vegetables had lower blood pressure than those who ate less. The study also found that people who ate more fruits and vegetables had a reduced risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.

Doctors recommend making fruits and vegetables a foundational part of the treatment of patients with hypertension.

The study's findings are in line with previous research that has shown that eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables can help to lower blood pressure and improve heart health. The American Heart Association recommends that adults eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. However, most Americans do not meet this recommendation.

The new study provides further evidence of the benefits of eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables. The study's findings suggest that eating more fruits and vegetables could help to reduce the risk of heart and kidney disease, two leading causes of death in the United States.
