Regular consumption of probiotics can improve blood pressure

new study, published in the
American Heart Association's Journal of Hypertension
, suggests that regular consumption of probiotics can moderately improve blood pressure.probiotics are recognized as a living beneficial microorganism (bacteria that naturally exist in the intestines). A common source is yogurt or dietary supplements.From some of the studies we looked at, we found that regular intake of probiotics is part of a healthy lifestyle that helps reduce high blood pressure and maintain healthy blood pressure levels,said Dr
Jing Sun , editor-in-chief and senior lecturer at Griffith Health Research Institute, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia,
"
, which includes probiotics in yogurt and cheese, as well as probiotic supplements.
”The researchers analyzed nine high-quality studies that measured blood pressure and probiotic intake in
,543,
adult subjects with normal blood pressure and high blood pressure, and found thatcompared to adults who did not consume probiotics. People who regularly ingest probiotics had an average reduction of
3.56mmHg
and an average reduction of
2.38mmHg
.for people with blood pressure greater than
130/85
(i.e. people with high blood pressure), eating probiotics had the greatest positive effect on their espressosis.consumption of probiotics less than
8
weeks does not reduce throopress pressure or systolic pressure.daily consumption of probiotics up to
10

-10
12
units (
CFU
) can improve blood pressure. Intake is less than
10
9
CFU
lower blood pressure.
CFU
is the amount of bacteria in the product or the dose of probiotics.probiotics containing a variety of bacteria are better at lowering blood pressure than single probiotics."
We believe that probiotics may help lower blood pressure by producing other positive effects on health, including improving total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins (
LDL
), cholesterol, reducing blood sugar and insulin resistance, and regulating blood pressure and body fluid balance by regulating the hormone system, dr.

said. ,
"
study on the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure is too small. Moreover, two of the studies on probiotic intake lasted only a short period of
3
to
4
weeks, which may affect the analysis of overall results.
” She added that more research is needed before doctors can safely recommend probiotics for the prevention and control of high blood pressure.
