We’re still not sure why it works, but hibiscus appears to boost nitric oxide production, which may help our arteries relax and dilate better. A review recognized that the daily consumption of hibiscus tea may indeed significantly lower blood pressures in people with hypertension. ⁠ ⁠ Within an hour of drinking hibiscus tea, the antioxidant power of your bloodstream shoots up as your system absorbs the tea’s phytonutrients. It’s one of the most healthful drinks, which is why it’s included in Beverages in my Daily Dozen checklist. After drinking hibiscus tea, be sure to rinse your mouth with water to keep the natural acids from softening your tooth enamel. Given the extraordinary manganese content in hibiscus tea, I don’t recommend drinking more than a quart a day. ⁠ ⁠ Watch the video “Hibiscus Tea vs. Plant-Based Diets for Hypertension” at https://bit.ly/341MALn to learn more.⁠ ⁠ Learn more about hibiscus tea at https://bit.ly/3lUuO6S.⁠ ⁠ For more on the Daily Dozen, see https://see.nf/DailyDozen.⁠ ⁠ PMIDs: 15330492, 20018807, 24668839, 23333908, 19801187, 22331521, 24479280, 23561167⁠ ⁠ *To access the links, click the link in our bio and then select this image.⁠ #HowNotToDie #HowNotToDiet #DailyDozen #DailyDozenChallenge #HowNotToDietCookbook #PoweredByPlants #NutritionFactsOrg #PlantPowered #PlantPoweredLifestyle #DrGregersDailyDozen #LifestyleMedicine #PlantBasedLifestyle #EatMorePlants #PlantBasedNutrition #PlantBasedEating #WFPB #HibiscusTea #HighBloodPressure #HeartHealthy #HealthyHeart”.
