Hypertension is a disease which is certainly not unfamiliar to many people. Often, people who have high blood pressure should limit foods consumed so as not to cause a surge in blood pressure. However, a recent study from Japan revealed that one type of diet is also known potent to lowering blood pressure.
After making observations of the 39 studies of 22,000 people, researchers found that vegetarians have lower blood pressure two times than those who eat meat. In addition, they also found that vegetarian diets can reduce the risk of blood pressure up to 9% and the risk of stroke by 14 %.
Researchers from the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center in Osaka, Yoko Yokoyama, explaining that a vegetarian diet of any kind, whether it is more focused on vegetables, grains, nuts, fruit, or grain, as well as the diet allows the consumption of dairy products, fish, and eggs, can be used to lower blood pressure. The important thing is not to eat meat, in other words become a vegetarian.
Unfortunately, this study did not show any nutrition from vegetarian diets that cause the difference in the effect on blood pressure in people who eat meat. In addition, because of this small-scale study, it seems that further research is needed to clarify the effects of vegetarian diets on high blood pressure.
