A “superfood” that controls high blood pressure

England – Health experts have revealed a “superfood” that helps regulate blood pressure in the body and maintain intestinal health.

The study showed that natural yogurt contributes to controlling blood pressure and sugar, and is also rich in calcium, magnesium, and fatty acids that help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Nutritionists have long promoted the benefits of natural yogurt, with nutritionist Novella Lui saying that yogurt is “one of the most nutritious whole foods” because it is full of vitamins and minerals that are “essential” to the body.

Novella explained that yogurt is an “excellent source” of calcium, which not only maintains the strength of bones and teeth, but also supports “the release of hormones” and helps with blood clotting.

This “superfood” supports immunity with zinc, and “keeps blood pressure under control” thanks to potassium.

Scientists from Harvard University reported that eating 28 grams of yogurt daily was associated with an 18% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while another study showed that eating a daily serving of natural yogurt can lower blood pressure in people who suffer from high blood pressure. .

Scientists have also suggested that bacteria in yogurt might help promote the release of proteins that lower blood pressure.

Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, said: ‘Yogurt appears to support the immune system, which is absolutely vital for fighting allergies, inflammation, cancer and ageing, thanks to its interaction with gut bacteria.’

It is recommended to consult a specialist doctor before applying any health advice.
