Three Kiwis A Day = Lower Blood Pressure

Posted on

Have high blood pressure?   KIWI TO THE RESCUE!

No, not the Kiwi bird…thank goodness…

Kiwi the fruit.

 

They say that three Kiwis a day will make the high blood pressure go away.  Who are they?  The American Heart Association.

“Research presented at the scientific meeting of the American Heart Association shows that eating three kiwis a day is linked with decreased blood pressure.”

Kiwi Blood Pressure

                                                     I do love a Kiwi.

This little fruit can appear not so tempting to the eye.  I don’t like the feel of the outer shell. The outside shell feels like my legs when I have not shaven for some time and just like my legs rough and winter dry.

I do have to start moisturizing more often.

I have an idea         

maybe I should use the moisturizer that sits on my night table just for that purpose.  Am I that lazy? YES.

Back to the Kiwi – When you slice off that ugly skin the surprise is this beautiful color inside.  Good thing I don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Of course, we all know that there is no one single food, just like there is no one magic pill, that is the key to heart health, but the kiwi has joined the ranks of one of the heart healthy fruits.

I know the recommended amount of kiwis,  three a day, can be a little much,

So just start with one and mix in other heart healthy fruits.

I have been eating Kiwi’s for many years so I guess that is way my blood pressure is low.  Well, I cannot give the kiwi all the credit…but I cannot not  give it some 🙂
