The common fruit juice that could control blood pressure and calm inflammation
Surprising health benefits of drinking pasteurized orange juice daily
- A recent study indicates that regular orange juice consumption can influence the activity of thousands of genes within immune cells.
- These genetic changes, observed after 500ml daily for two months, are linked to reduced inflammation and lower blood pressure.
- Natural compounds like hesperidin are believed to be responsible for these effects, which vary depending on an individual's body size.
- Systematic reviews and studies suggest that daily orange juice intake can lower insulin resistance, improve cholesterol levels, and enhance endothelial function.
- While whole fruit remains preferable due to fibre, evidence suggests a modest daily glass of pure orange juice offers long-term benefits for heart health.
