Eating Yogurt Proven To Help Lower High Blood Pressure

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Worldwide, about 1.39 billion individuals have hypertension, according to a February 2020 report in Nature Review Nephrology. The main cause of stress high blood pressure is the intake of poor quality food or diet.

Yes, food choices are a very important part of managing high blood pressure. A new study in the International Daily Journal suggests that yogurt may be especially beneficial for managing hypertension.

Researchers observed about 915 people with a history of hypertension. They found that eating yogurt daily was associated with lower blood pressure overall. In this case, yogurt is believed to help reduce blood pressure to maintain its stability.

Even small amounts of food have good effects, as long as they are consumed regularly rather than occasionally, according to the study’s lead author, Alexandra Wade, PhD, a nutrition and cognition researcher at the University of South Australia.

Why yogurt? Dr. Wade says part of the reason is that dairy products contain a variety of micronutrients. These include calcium, magnesium, and potassium. For example, the American Heart Association notes that potassium-rich foods such as yogurt can reduce the effects of sodium and excreted through the urinary system.

“Yogurt contains these minerals and also contains beneficial bacteria that promote the release of certain proteins that have been linked to low blood pressure,” explains Wade.
