CONQUER elevated BP with this South American ‘superfood’

Nowadays, it doesn’t take much to send our blood pressure THROUGH THE ROOF.

Between a SURGING pandemic… a TANKING economy… and international relations reaching their BOILING POINT…

I know it feels like I could blow my lid at any moment.

But get me RILED UP about what’s going on in the world today…

And I’ve got to call a “time out”… because I can’t let my blood pressure go too high.

If you’re keeping an eye on hypertension… you might think that you’ve got to adopt a RESTRICTIVE diet…

Or CHOKE DOWN handfuls of pills…

Just to control your BP.

Friend, that’s just not true.

In fact, there’s something you can ADD to your meals – something that could help keep your numbers within a normal range.

And you won’t believe how easy it is.

Amaranth gets its name from the Greek word “amarantos,” which means “everlasting.”

The Aztecs of Mesoamerica cultivated this “ancient grain” as far back as 8,000 years ago…
Also incorporating it into their ritualistic offerings to the gods.
Because it could survive growing conditions that many other crops couldn’t, it became a staple food.

But after the Spaniards conquered South America… somehow amaranth’s reputation went DOWN THE DRAIN…

And from then on was called “pigweed”!

It wasn’t until the 1970s that scientists in this country took another look at amaranth… and began to understand why it had been so TREASURED.

You’ve read right here in eAlert how this “godly grain” could help SUPERCHARGE conventional cancer therapies…

And even FIX blood sugar woes…

But that’s not all.

Adding amaranth to your diet could also help TURN THE TABLES on hypertension!

Now, in the plant kingdom, amaranth is technically a “pseudocereal”… whose “grain” is actually a seed.

And this “seed trick” isn’t JUST rich in dietary fiber… which has been shown to help fight high blood pressure.

It’s ALSO loaded with magnesium… the miracle mineral that’s been shown to help NORMALIZE blood pressure readings in folks diagnosed with hypertension.

That’s because magnesium helps RELAX blood vessels… keeping them flexible and helping them “go with the flow” as your heart pumps blood through your body.

That magnesium gets a little help, too – from the proteins that are PACKED inside those tiny amaranth seeds.

Science reveals that certain types of protein molecules actually act as ACE inhibitors… that is, inhibiting Angiotensin-converting enzyme, which tends to narrow blood vessels and contributes to elevated BP.

In an animal study published in the Journal of Functional Foods in 2020, researchers from Mexico found that enriching the food supply with amaranth significantly lowered blood pressure in hypertensive subjects within 3 hours.

Even better, the BP-lowering effects lasted as long as 7 hours.

If you’re interested in including amaranth into your own BP-friendly diet… you can get amaranth seed, flour, or food-grade seed oil at your local health food store.

You may also be able to find amaranth seed extract or oil in capsule form.
