Seeds for hypertension

Sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds contain a lot of trace elements and vitamins. This:

• vitamins E, B1, B6, B3;
• selenium;
• phosphorus;
• magnesium;
• folic acid;
• manganese;
• copper.

Sunflower seeds contain a lot of vegetable protein and fiber. All these beneficial substances are very important for the heart muscle and blood vessels. When a person consumes ¼ of a glass of peeled unsalted seeds, this is enough to saturate the body with useful trace elements for a day.

Sunflower seeds contain a lot of different nutrients that help the body to function normally. It is with hypertension that it can be noted that the set of trace elements that are in the seeds is able to affect the blood vessels, clearing them of atherosclerotic plaques. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of high blood pressure.

100 g of seeds contain about 300 mg. magnesium. Such an amount of this trace element will help restore metabolic processes in the myocardium. It is quite effective to use this plant for diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It is also necessary for the regulation of the nervous system. In addition, it prevents migraines from occurring. The beneficial properties of the seeds in the complex reduce blood pressure. It is with a lack of magnesium that it rises, headaches occur, vitality decreases and muscle spasms occur (including heart cramps).

As for the effect of magnesium on nerve cells, it is significant, since it is a calcium channel blocker. Thus, the nerve endings of the human body are in a relaxed state. Relaxation of the nerves leads to a chain reaction of muscles and blood vessels. As a result of the use of such a simple product as sunflower seeds, complications of hypertension in the form of stroke and heart attack are prevented.

Dill seeds

Dill seeds have a sedative effect. Thus, they help to lower blood pressure. They are included in decoctions and infusions for insomnia, anxiety, angina pectoris. It should be noted that the positive quality of these seeds is that they are harmless even for pregnant and lactating women. They, like sunflower seeds, have a rich composition, therefore they also help to strengthen the vascular walls and myocardium, normalize the functioning of the central nervous system, and cleanse the body of toxins. All this in a complex allows you to influence the manifestation of hypertension and other diseases of the cardiovascular system.
