We’ve written extensively about the “Mediterranean diet”, one of the healthiest diets on Earth.
But a new study presented by the American Heart Association reveals that you don’t have to go overboard engaging the Mediterranean culture.
Just by consuming this ONE little Greek snack (found in all supermarkets) regularly, you can drastically lower blood pressure and lose weight.
The health benefits of plain Greek yogurt have been known for a while now. It contains calcium and is a great source of protein and probiotics. It is one of the best between-meal snacks that give a sensation of being full longer.
However, there is another, even more powerful quality of yogurt that was discovered in a 15 year-long study, which included 2,000 volunteers, presented by the American Heart Association.
During the study period, the research group was asked to fill out a questionnaire three times to find out the frequency of their yogurt consumption.
Results: participants whose daily calorie intake consisted of at least 2% of yogurt (about one 6-ounce cup every three days), were an astonishing 31 % less likely to develop high blood pressure.
The participants who were not frequent consumers of yogurt developed significantly higher systolic blood pressure throughout the years, compared to the frequent yogurt-eating group.
Any kind of plain yogurt is going to be beneficial to your health. However, repeated studies have revealed that “Greek style” yogurt is the most powerful of them all.
Fortunately, this food is easily found in most any supermarket all over the world. To make sure you are getting the maximum health benefits of yogurt, always choose plain, sugar free, with no artificial flavorings – organic, if possible.
