Lower Blood Pressure - Chicken Soup For Your Heart

0 comments

I read some interesting research lately that I am on shares in connection with chicken and blood pressure.

We know that blood pressure is a significant risk to the fact, heart disease and stroke. It is estimated that approximately 1 billion people worldwide live with high blood pressure. The ability to control high blood pressure through food selection is very important.

The collagen in chicken will be investigated for use as a blood pressure medication, with similar action to ACE inhibitors (eg lisinopril). Japanese studies have found, 4 proteins in chickens, collagen with measures that the blood pressure medication when tested in rats.

Chicken legs and feet more collagen, that chicken breast meat. For your information - The legs and feet are the yellow part of a chicken leg with a nail on the end. A "chicken collagen hydrolyzate" was in the study and fed to rats and the effects on blood pressure when tested. The rats showed a decrease in blood pressure 4 hours after receiving the oral mixture, with the lowest blood pressure reading after 8 hours. Long-term studies showed improved blood pressure after a week of treatment, with a significant reduction after 2 weeks.

The study says that the "chicken collagen hydrolyzate" mix, the study consists of foods that can easily be a typical daily diet. For people with high blood pressure, increasing the intake of these foods is a normal blood pressure. What I want to know - who to eat a chicken leg /foot? How do the researchers think that this is a normal part of the diet? My question was not answered in the results of the study. I think it is a food additive that will allow certain foods to be marketed as "functional" for blood pressure lowering, but we must wait and see.

The title of this post was only to catch your attention. I do not recommend you eat more chicken soup to lower your blood pressure. Far too much sodium soup added advantage for him!
