Ref: National Institutes of Health (gov)https://pubmed.ncbi.nim.nih.gov > ...Raisins compared with other snack effects on glycemia and blood pressure: a randomized, controlled trial 2. When compared to processed or salted snacks raisins as a snack do not increase blood pressure, this is the sake of most whole fruit. 3. In raisins just like in other fruit this is because of the diet try fiber, potassium and polyphenols along with a lot of other phyto chemicals. Ref: https://www.bio-conferences.org/articles/bioconf/pdf/2016/02/bioconf-oiv2016_04005.pdf 4. BUT ...When we soak raisins in water or boil them the possibility of the phytonutrients getting destroyed in high, polyphenols are more fat soluble than in water so absorption will be lesser. 5. The water will absorb both the glucose and fructose raisins and definitely increase your blood sugars if you are a diabetic. 6. Weight loss, exercise, balanced diet, sleep, muscle mass and meditation is the formula to maintain your blood pressure. There is no single magic solution. Ps: please take your blood pressure medications as per your doctors instructions and do not stop these life saving medications on your own . Uncontrolled High blood pressure can cause cardiac arrests to strokes and many serious life threatening complications. #raisins #hypertension #weightloss #diabetes #healthyfood #healthy #healthbenefits #sgsathiyarao #doctortalk #tamildoctor #doctortiktok #doctortamiltips
