One Ingredient Responsible for Major Rise in Blood Pressure

According to a recent Journal of Nature Medicine study, one basic ingredient that’s the base of most common Western diets, may be the main cause of rise in high blood pressure, strokes, and heart attacks.

The researchers studied the type of food most common in various countries worldwide. Wherever the consumption of this one ingredient was high, so were cases of high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attacks.

What the Ugandan study showed was that in populations where the average consumption of processed red meat per meal exceeded 70 grams, those were the locations where hypertension and deadly cardiovascular disease were the most prevalent.

The recommended serving size for red meat is generally accepted as the equivalent of just 2 strips of bacon. Many Western meals far exceed this, boasting 1/3 pound burgers with extra bacon, dripping with cheese.

While it is good to get optimum amounts of protein in the diet, doing it this way leads, according to studies, to an early grave.

You don’t even have to suffer weight gain for the high blood pressure effects of the red meat to plague you.

The researchers recommended substituting red meat with white meat such as baked chicken. There are, of course, many vegetables loaded with protein and healthy fats such as nuts and beans.

If you already have high blood pressure, there is a method proven to lower it no matter what diet you’re on.
