Yogurt, A Weapon against High Blood Pressure

A study that followed more than 2,000 people for over a decade illustrates how eating a specific kind of treat can actually lower your blood pressure.

And, this particular food is recommended to be included in many diets- even some of the most restrictive.

More data from the Framingham Heart Study is being looked at regarding food choices and their possible effects on blood pressure health.

Of the more than 2,000 participants who were followed for more than 10 years, the ones who ate at least a half a cup of yogurt every other day were more than 30% less likely than their peers to develop high blood pressure.

Yogurt’s nutritive benefits go beyond being full of calcium and helping digestion. Most yogurt is packed with potassium and magnesium, two critical minerals in maintaining optimum circulatory health.
