Abstract

The study examines the effect of timed consumption of eggplant or Kalahari watermelon on BP and heart rate (HR) in ten hypertensive individuals, using 7-day/24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring. Each participant provided a 7-day/24-hour ABPM record of systolic (S) and diastolic (D) BP and H before and after administration of Kalahari melon supplementation. We observed that Kalahari melon supplementation taken upon awakening had a statistically significant lowering effect on the SBP MESOR hypertension.
