Instructions: Figure on getting vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and fiber from figs, fresh or dried.

A recent Harvard School of Public Health study of more than 30,000 men found that only fruit fiber, like that found in figs, was linked to reduced systolic blood pressure (the upper number, which represents pressure during the hearts contractions).

All fiber is associated with reduced distolic blood pressure (the lower number, which represents the pressure when the heart is at rest between contractions).
