Is hibiscus flower's juice good for heart?

Mmmmm Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus Water)


I have grown up drinking this. My mother In law was recently diagnosed with Diabetes type 2 soo I looked on line for some diabetic recipes.





On there appeared beverages and hibiscus water was on there. You can go to this site to view it http://www.diabetic-recipes.com/recipes/...





If you see the recipe says to add cinnamon and this promotes lower sugar in the blood stream.





You can serve hibiscus as a tea or chilled.


I grew up drinking it chilled and I think you will enjoy it for the spring/summer

Is hibiscus flower's juice good for heart?
The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture has published research findings from Chung Shan Medical University in Taiwan that show hibiscus flowers—like red wine and tea—contain heart-cleansing antioxidants. Called jamaica in these parts, hibiscus has long been a favored herbal remedy for high blood pressure. Odd how the cures that people who can’t afford pills have used for centuries only become credible when they’re good for lab rats.
