High blood pressure and atherosclerosis (build-up of fats in the blood vessels) are some common conditions related to heart problems that affect people in their middle and old age. Eating lychee pulp might help relieve atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. The phenolic compounds in lychee pulp may help reduce blood pressure by stopping an angiotensin-converting enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for modulating blood pressure ^{[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
In animal studies, Lychee pulp could reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and enhance high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (good cholesterol) levels. However, you should consult your healthcare provider if you have a heart condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
