(Y.S. Lau et al.; Apocynum venetum leaf extract, an antihypertensive herb, inhibits rat aortic contraction induced by angiotensin II: A nitric oxide and superoxide connection; Journal of Ethnopharmacology 143 (2012) 565–571)
  Apocynum venetum has anti-oxidants such as flavonols and glycosides which provides its pharmacological activities such as antihypertensive, hepatoprotective, anxiolytic, antidepressant, and antioxidant effects, most especially for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, neurasthenia, depression, and anxiety. (Wenyan Xie, Xiaoying Zhang, Tian Wang, Jianjun Hu; Botany, traditional uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacology of Apocynum venetum L. (Luobuma): A review; Journal of Ethnopharmacology 141 (2012) 1–8)

DOI: 10.1155/2013/765383) Gynostemma pentaphyllum alleviates hepatic steatosis by modifying gut microbiota and the suppression of hepatic miR-34a.  (Jia, N., Lin, X., Ma, S. et al. Amelioration of hepatic steatosis is associated with modulation of gut microbiota and suppression of hepatic miR-34a in Gynostemma pentaphylla (Thunb.) Makino-treated mice.

PMID: 31334091; PMCID: PMC6621350.)
  H. sabdariffa is reported to prevent or reduce obesity, and abdominal fat, and alleviate liver
  steatosis. (Chang HC, Peng CH, Yeh DM, Kao ES, Wang CJ. Hibiscus sabdariffa extract inhibits obesity and fat accumulation and improves liver steatosis in humans. Food Funct. 2014 Apr;5(4):734-9. doi: 10.1039/c3fo60495k. Epub 2014 Feb 19. PMID: 24549255.)
• Breadfruit Leaves (Artocarpus altilis Fosb)
  A study conducted on the health impacts of a breadfruit-based diet in mice recommended a breadfruit-based diet as a healthy alternative to other starches for modern foods as it showed no negative impacts on health. (Liu Y, Brown PN, Ragone D, Gibson DL, Murch SJ. Breadfruit flour is a healthy option for modern foods and food security. PLoS One. 2020 Jul 23;15(7): e0236300. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0236300.

• There is scientific evidence that suggested the use of breadfruit in the treatment of hypertension. (Nwokocha CR, Owu DU, McLaren M, Murray J, Delgoda R, Thaxter K, McCalla G, Young L. Possible mechanisms of action of the aqueous extract of Artocarpus altilis (breadfruit) leaves in producing hypotension in normotensive Sprague-Dawley rats.

PMID: 31554332; PMCID: PMC6826385.)
  Avocado has been associated with multiple effects such as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anti-degenerative as well as antihypertensive due to its antioxidative compounds (Castro-López C, Bautista-Hernández I, González-Hernández MD, Martínez-Ávila GCG, Rojas R, Gutiérrez-Díez A, Medina-Herrera N, Aguirre-Arzola VE.
