Skim milk lowers blood pressure

Milk and low-fat related products can completely reduce the risk of middle-aged hypertension by 54%.

The effect of stabilizing blood pressure of skimmed milk is due to some proteins called casein and whey, which have the same activity as other antihypertensive drugs. In addition, the calcium content in milk is also resistant to hypertension. Meanwhile, fat milk with saturated fats neutralizes this effect.

Some previous studies have also recognized the link between lean dairy products and blood pressure, but new research by Harvard University Dr. Alvaro Alonso (USA) is the first report focused on litters. middle Ages.

Alonso investigated nearly 5,900 people within 2 years, all without high blood pressure or any cardiovascular incident when he started participating. They were asked about nutrition and other health and lifestyle factors.

The results showed that 180 people had high blood pressure and most were those who ate the least skinny milk. The high-fat consuming group had a 54% higher risk of hypertension than those who ate skim milk. This result has not changed even with the intervention of high blood pressure factors such as diet, exercise, weight and smoking.
