Philadelphia: After a long research, American experts have said that ‘Bainiko Akaisu’ is a type of Japanese potato whose fruit and juice not only lowers blood pressure but also lowers cholesterol and thus removes heart diseases. However, this fruit looks exactly like an apricot.
Temple University states that Japanese hibiscus has been used medicinally for hundreds of years. It is also important in Japanese wisdom for maintaining circulation and blood pressure. It is now known that drinking its juice regularly can significantly reduce internal inflammation, cholesterol and other diseases. This is due to the numerous natural ingredients and chemicals present in the fruit which are very beneficial for health. Perhaps the reason for the health of the Japanese nation is this fruit.
The fruit is called ‘yome’ in Japan, said Dr Setaro Egoshi and his colleagues at the university. Although it contains some toxic compounds and is passed through several steps to extract juice and alcohol from it. According to experts, it keeps the blood vessels smooth and calm. In addition, it inhibits the growth of a type of chemical signal called ‘angiotensin II’. It is a hormone that is related to blood pressure and increases blood pressure when elevated.
Experts have tested the components of this fruit on mice and other animals. The rats that were given its juice were completely protected from high blood pressure. In the group of rats that were not given any drug but were given water, no significant reduction in blood pressure was observed.
Apart from this, the blood vessels of rats that drank fruit juice were less constricted. Now the experts in the next step will find the important chemicals of this fruit which are causing the healing in blood pressure and heart diseases. However, he has suggested that even if there is no medicine based on it, you can definitely drink its juice.
