The diastolic blood pressure also
improved dramatically. A 12 points decrease was observed in the group that took
medication, 11 points in those who tried the oil blend and 24 points in the
group that used the combination.
But here is the most interesting
part of the research – the oils did something better that the medications
failed to do! It caused a drop in LDL cholesterol level by about 26 percent and
a 9.5 percent increase in HDL level. No such effect was observed in those who
took only the medication.
It is believed that all the
beneficial effects are due to the healthy fatty acids and antioxidants present
in the oils such as sesamin, sesamol, sesamolin and oryzanol.
