May promote heart health

Lucuma may provide some protection against heart disease, owing to its high polyphenol content. Polyphenols are plant chemicals that are considered to protect against hypertension and heart disease. According to one test-tube investigation, lucuma may inhibit the function of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme, which is important in blood pressure regulation.

As a result, lucuma may aid in the reduction of blood pressure. Though preliminary findings are encouraging, additional study is needed to establish these heart health advantages in individuals. Polyphenols in lucuma are heart-healthy. Its capacity to function as an ACE inhibitor may help to improve heart health by decreasing blood pressure.
