Raisins help control blood pressure

Raisins help control blood pressure

Studies have proved that using raisins as a daily snack is conducive to controlling blood pressure and preventing cardiovascular disease.

Raisins concentrate the mineral components of fresh grapes, especially potassium. The potassium content in 100 grams of ordinary raisins reaches 995 mg, which is nearly 20 times that of refined white rice. The calcium content is also higher than that of the white surface of rice.

Raisins are rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants. Raisins also "inherit" many of the antioxidants found in grapes. During the drying process, some antioxidants are concentrated. Among them, the dark brown, purple-black raisins contain more anthocyanins in the causal skin, and their antioxidant capacity will be stronger. After all, eating grapes requires spitting out grape skins, and no one will spit out grapes when eating raisins. If it is a raisin with a thicker skin, the content of dietary fiber is also considerable, which is good for preventing constipation and bowel cancer.

Of course, although the raisins are good, a balanced diet is the basis for health. Don't eat too much, use it to replace other processed snacks will have a better health effect. According to The People's Daily News
