News regular yogurt consumption seems to have a beneficial effect to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension.This nutritional option could therefore be interesting in the context of a global adaptation of the lifestyle.
As explains this Australian team (University of South Australia), fermented dairy products have been the subject of a series of research on their profits in the context of high blood pressure management.To date, the link is not clear.And among these foods, there is yogurt, fermented milk.
Three blood pressure measurements
The researchers examined the association between yogurt and blood pressure in hypertensive patients and people who do not present any problems.Participants were mostly seniors, men and women.Their usual yogurt consumption was determined on the basis of a so -called food frequency questionnaire.A series of parameters have been examined, with priority (PAS) and diastolic (PAD) arterial pressures, as well as average blood pressure (calculated by a formula and PAD)).The evaluations have integrated data such as body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol, "good" (HDL) and "bad" cholesterol, triglycerides or blood sugar (sugar level in theblood).
L’analyse met en évidence une association « significative » entre la consommation de yaourt et les trois mesures de la pression artérielle, avec des effets bénéfiques - réduction des valeurs - parmi ceux qui mangent régulièrement cet aliment.This benefit is observed in hypertensive people, but not in those who do not have high blood pressure.
Adaptations of lifestyle
The authors indicate that future studies will determine more precisely the potential benefits of yogurt in this context.That said, if this food could be of interest in the management of high blood pressure, it will certainly not be enough.In addition to antihypertensive drugs, adaptations of the lifestyle are highly recommended, as, depending on the case, the regular practice of physical activity, a balanced diet (many vegetables, relatively little meat), weight loss, theLimitation of salt consumption (6 g maximum per day), moderate alcohol consumption or smoking cessation.
Faut-il rappeler que l’hypertension artérielle - définie parune tension supérieure à 140 / 90 mmHg - est un facteur de risque majeur d’accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) et de maladie cardiovasculaire, ainsi que de complications rénales.
