Carried out by researchers at Edith Cowan University, this study found that cruciferous vegetables are more effective at lowering blood pressure than root and squash vegetables like carrots and potatoes. Taking the form of a randomized, controlled trial, the study involved middle-aged and older Australian adults with elevated blood pressure.
Participants who consumed four servings of cruciferous vegetables per day showed a significant reduction in blood pressure compared to those eating root and squash vegetables. The researchers say their findings are linked to compounds known as glucosinolates, found mainly in cruciferous vegetables, which have previously been shown to reduce blood pressure in animal studies.
