High protein diet drives off hypertension

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the number of people suffering from hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia is also increasing What to eat and how to eat for the three high people? This has become a problem in front of people According to a new study in the American Journal of hypertension, adults with high protein intake (100 g protein / day) have a 40% lower risk of developing hypertension than those with low protein intake In the United States, about one in three adults has high blood pressure and 78.6 million have obesity, which is a risk factor for high blood pressure Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction and aneurysm, and it is also one of the causes of chronic kidney disease Changing diet and lifestyle can improve blood pressure control and reduce related health risks In this study, researchers at Boston University School of Medicine analyzed the protein intake of healthy participants in the Framingham Offspring Study and followed them up for 11 years They found that adults who took in more protein, whether from animal or plant sources, had significantly lower systolic and diastolic pressures They also found that higher protein intake from the diet was associated with a lower long-term risk of hypertension Adults with high protein intake (100 g protein / day) had a 40% lower risk of developing hypertension than those with low protein intake (95% CI, 0.45-0.78) "The benefits of protein are clear for men and women, as well as for normal and overweight people," the researchers wrote A high protein diet is characterized by high fiber intake, which reduces the risk of hypertension by 59% (95% CI, 0.37 – 0.66) " "These results do not provide evidence that people who are worried about high blood pressure should avoid protein in their diet," explains Lynn Moore, an associate professor at Boston University School of medicine, the article's co-author On the contrary, protein intake may play an important role in the long-term prevention of hypertension More and more studies have found the benefits of protein to blood vessels, indicating that we need to reexamine the optimal intake of protein to achieve the best heart health "
