Flavonoids have very vast range of impact on Human cellular biochemical reactions.
Flavonoids can be of different types dipending upon the Fruit type, are phytonutrients found in plants, fruits, vegetables, grains, bark, roots, stems, flowers, tea, and wine.

Nutrient-Rich: Apricots are packed with essential nutrients that contribute to cardiovascular health. These include:Potassium: Apricots are rich in potassium, which helps balance sodium levels in the body. Lower sodium levels can lead to reduced blood pressure1.Calcium: Adequate calcium intake supports overall heart health.
Magnesium: Magnesium plays a role in muscle function, including the heart muscle.
Vitamin C: This antioxidant supports blood vessel health.
Pectin: Found in apricots, pectin may help absorb excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, promoting better cardiovascular health and lower blood pressure.
B-Dietary Fiber: Apricots are full of dietary fiber. Research has shown that dietary fiber can help lower blood pressure. It reduces systolic blood pressure by approximately 1.12 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by about 1.26 mmHg.

6-Pomegranats: Iron rich fruit that helps seniors in balancing heamoglobin in blood flued and other antyoxidents to help improve systolic blood pressure regardless of the amount consumed or the duration.
Researchers found that having more than 1 cup of pomegranate juice may reduce diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number), but without external sugar.
7-Green Leaves:
Green vegetables like kale, cabbage, and spinach are a rich source of nitrates, which can lower blood pressure.One study found that consuming 60 milligrams of dietary nitrate, which is equivalent to 1 cup of leafy greens per day, may help reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.

In one study, participants who drank a beverage made with freeze-dried wild blueberry powder daily (a little more than 1 cup) saw a reduction in their systolic blood pressure compared to the placebo group. They also experienced improvements in blood vessel function and cognitive function.
10-Beetroot: Research suggests beetroot juice can help reduce blood pressure and increase blood flow, improving heart health, likely due to its high nitrate levels. we suggest consuming beetroot juice daily for at least two weeks for better results but the resul will be different person to person.
11-Garlic and Ginger: garlic extract, can help lower blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and cholesterol levels.
Ginger doses greater than 3 grams can significantly improve systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults below 50.
12-Tomatos: Tomatoes contain lycopene and potassium, which may affect heart health. It is found that 10–15 milligrams of tomato extract with lycopene daily significantly improved systolic blood pressure in people with and without high blood pressure.
