Lazurenko chose tomatoes and cucumbers as vegetables that can help your cardiovascular system work. According to him, cucumber contains a large amount of chlorophyll, it is beneficial for all systems of your body, and also protects against various ailments. And for better absorption of potassium and magnesium, which these green fruits are rich in, the doctor advised to eat them without salt. If you add salt to it, “the sodium will immediately go astray and the body will no longer have such protection against pressure and vascular disease,” says the doctor.
According to Lazurenko, tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which supports the cardiovascular system, improves the quality of metabolic processes and, as a result, has a beneficial effect on the body as a whole.
But no matter how beneficial these vegetables are, the doctor says they cannot cure chronic hypertension. Therefore, it urges people not to self-medicate and not to stop taking medications.
