It became the common knowledge of most Nigerians that Egusi soup is dangerous for the heart health and could Increase blood pressure. This has continued to be the news that has circulated around the country and a lot of older people now observe this rule.

But I am going to prove that study wrong with these 3 reasons and also explain why people with High Blood Pressure should eat Egusi Soup More Often

1. Egusi is Cholesterol Free

According to a study from researchgate.net, egusi has been proven to be cholesterol free. It says that it is a seed and contains zero amount of unhealthy fat which could affect the body rather it contains healthy fats such as Omega-3 fatty acids and other necessary heart related minerals.

According to a study, it contains potassium, calcium and minerals which can help in regulating blood pressure. It also contains potassium, magnesium and zinc.

Egusi is also cholesterol free which makes it a perfect food for people with heart related issue

3. It contains nutrients that prevent Heart diseases.

According to a report gotten from researchgate.net, it contains nutritious amount of linolecic acids and other essential fatty acids which protects the heart against coronary heart diseases.
