Original title: One cup of tomato juice a day lowers blood pressure and blood lipids
A study led by researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University in Japan suggests that one cup of tomato juice a day may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
researchers recruited 184 male and 297 female volunteers, each of who drank 215 milliliters of unsalted tomato juice a day, equivalent to less than one cup. It was found that 94 volunteers with high blood pressure or prehypertension had significantly lower blood pressure levels at the end of the study than a year earlier, with average systolic blood pressure dropping from 141.2 mmHg to 137 mmHg and average diastolic pressure dropping from 83.3 mmHg to 80.9 mmHg. According to the American Heart Association guidelines, long-term to maintain such a drop in blood pressure, secondary hypertension patients are expected to be reduced to first-grade hypertension patients. In addition, 127 volunteers with abnormal triglycerides and cholesterol levels significantly lowered LDL levels that can cause arterial damage after one year.
the study, tomatoes or tomato products may lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which can be good for cardiovascular health. The researchers believe this may be because tomatoes contain a variety of biologically active compounds, including carotenoids, vitamin A and gamma amino butyric acid.
