Watermelon
Now here’s a fruit you can really sink your teeth into. Watermelon is amazing for so many reasons. The first is that it’s delicious! The second is that it has so much water (as its name suggests) that it’ll keep you hydrated. Third, watermelon has an amino acid called citrulline, which can help manage high blood pressure. Citrulline works to help our bodies produce nitric oxide (the same ingredient in garlic) and relaxes our blood vessels, reducing pressure. Studies have shown that those who drink watermelon juice have almost 50% less plaque in their arteries than those who don’t. Now it may be hard to make this a constant part of the diet because it’s seasonal, but just don’t pass up the opportunity when it does come around.
