Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli reduce blood pressure compared to root and squash vegetables

A study in BMC Medicine showed that a daily intake of four servings of cruciferous vegetables for two weeks significantly lowered blood pressure in mildly hypertensive adults aged 50 to 75 compared to their peers who ate root and squash vegetables. Future research will focus on cruciferous vegetable consumption’s influence on population health, seeking a more diverse demographic for better general applicability.
