Dietary Polyphenol Intake, Blood Pressure, and Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies.
Increased intake of foods rich in anthocyanins can help to fight off hypertension.
This study assessed the impact of high dietary exposure to polyphenols and flavonoids on the risk of hypertension using a meta-analytic approach. A total of 20 studies were considered for this meta-analysis.
Researchers found out that habitual consumption of generous portions of foods packed with anthocyanins—a subclass of flavonoids—decreased the likelihood of acquiring hypertension by 8%. The data from this meta-analysis suggest that individuals who want to cut down their risk of hypertension should add more anthocyanin-containing foods to their diet.
