To Drop Blood Pressure and Stroke Risk 36%, Eat This Daily

Today I’m not going to tell you to eat fruits or vegetables to lower your blood pressure.

I won’t mention fish, eggs, or meat either.

What this revolutionary Japanese study reveals is not about any single ingredient.

But you absolutely must eat this daily if you want to lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of a stroke or heart attack by up to 36%.

In January, a Japanese research team published a study in the journal Stroke showing that people who skipped breakfast were more likely to suffer a stroke than those who ate in the morning.

They first collected data on the breakfast habits of 82,772 Japanese adults, which were recorded in 1995; they categorized their participants based on their number of weekly breakfasts:

• 0-2 per week

• 3-4 per week

• 5-6 per week

• 7 per week

They recorded all cardiovascular events that occurred within their subjects over the following 15 years and compared these numbers with the breakfast statistics.

Their comparison clearly shows that those who never ate breakfast were:

• Significantly more likely to suffer from a stroke than those who regularly or always enjoyed breakfast

• 36% more likely to have a stroke that involved a cerebral hemorrhage.

A previous study with 26,902 subjects published in an edition of the journal Circulation found that people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to suffer a heart attack than those who ate regular breakfasts.

So why do breakfast-skippers have such a high risk of stroke and cerebral hemorrhage?

High blood pressure increases the chance of stroke and heart attack by up to six times.

And the authors of both the Japanese and American studies found that people who skipped breakfast had higher blood pressure scores than those who did eat breakfast.

So your number one health goal should be to lower your blood pressure, and eating breakfast daily will get you closer to that goal.
