Default Pears could improve blood pressure, heart function

Pears could improve bP, heart function

Eating fresh pears may improve blood pressure and
vascular function in middle-aged men and women who are at
risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2
diabetes, according to a new study. The clinical trial
evaluated the antihypertensive effects of fresh pear
consumption in middle-aged men and women with metabolic
syndrome (MetS), a cluster of major cardiovascular risk
factors highly associated with the development of chronic
diseases. As many as 50 men and women aged 45 to 65 with
three of the five features of MetS were randomly assigned
to receive either two medium-sized fresh pears or 50
grammes pear-flavoured drink mix per day for 12 weeks.
Preliminary analyses of 36 participants show that after
12 weeks of fresh pear consumption, systolic blood
pressure and pulse pressure were significantly lower than
baseline levels, whereas there were no changes in the
control group. Further research is needed to confirm the
antihypertensive effects of fresh pears.
