Chocolate Can Be A Natural High Blood Pressure Treatment.... And A Nice
Treat "
Now that we have talked about some
easy and relaxing ways to reduce blood pressure, lets get into a more
delectable natural treatment. Yes, yes, this article is very short, but
it is sweet and to the point.... So enjoy!
EAT MORE CHOCOLATE.....
A recent study published in the
Archives of Internal Medicine found that eating or drinking cocoa
lowered blood pressure and reduced the risk of death in older men.
Substances known as flavan-3-ols and antioxidants found in dark chocolate have been
shown to lower blood pressure and improve the function of cells lining
the blood vessels.
Men who ate chocolate regularly over a
15-year study were found to have lower blood pressure than those who
didn't, even when weight, smoking, physical activity and other factors
were taken into account.
This doesn't mean you should run out
and start gobbling up candy bars, however. The most protective
compounds are found in dark chocolate, and it should still only be
consumed in small quantities. And it's not as clear that the benefits
exist for women, but it couldn't hurt to try, now, could it?
Relax, sleep, enjoy a day in the sun
and eat some dark chocolate, it can only help in your fight against
High Blood Pressure. Not to mention a nice Natural High Blood Pressure
Treatment!
