-- Drinking salt-free
tomatoes
juice can reduce the risk of heart disease, according to a report on June 5 by daily mail website
.
found that drinking 200ml of salt-free tomato juice a day lowers blood pressure and cholesterol in people at risk of heart disease. But critics urged caution in the study, warning that it did not take into account other food and lifestyle options.
Tokyo Medical and Dental University studied 481 people over a year and provided them with the tomato juice they needed every day, the Associated Press reported. The study participants recorded in detail how much tomato juice they drank each day and the health changes they noticed.
most participants drank one bottle (200 milliliters) of unsalted tomato juice a day, the researchers said. Of these, 94 participants with prehypertension or hypertension who had not yet received treatment had an average blood pressure drop of 3%. This is equivalent to a decrease of about 4 mmHg in systolic pressure. The researchers also noticed a drop in their espresso pressure of about 3 mmHg.
reported that among those with higher cholesterol levels, 125 had an average 3.3 percent reduction in fatty substances, which can clog blood vessels and cause heart attacks and strokes.
study, published in the journal Food Science and Nutrition, found similar benefits for salt-free tomato juice in men, women and age groups. Lycope prevents plateplates from condensing in the participants' arteries, which can cause blood pressure to drop, the researchers said.
