May prevent high blood pressure

Cherimoya is abundant in potassium and magnesium, two elements that assist control blood pressure. Notably, 1 cup (160 grams) of the fruit contains 10% of the RDI for potassium and more than 6% of the RDI for magnesium. Potassium and magnesium both stimulate blood vessel dilatation, which lowers blood pressure. High blood pressure may raise your chances of developing heart disease or having a stroke.

According to one study, taking the DV for potassium — 4,700 mg per day — can lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure by around 8 and 4 mm Hg, respectively. When comparing persons with the highest magnesium intake to those with the lowest intake, another study discovered an inverse association between magnesium consumption and risk of high blood pressure. Each additional 100 mg of magnesium consumed per day was related to a 5% decreased risk of high blood pressure.
