Prevent High Blood Pressure Blog Thursday, October 23, 2008 Now chicken soup for high blood pressure Washington (IANS): Chicken soup, a trendy home medicine for common cold, might now have a role in combating high blood pressure, according to a Japanese study. Ai Saiga of Nippon Meat Packers and colleagues cited previous studies signifying that chicken breast contains collagen proteins with effects similar to ACE inhibitors, mainstay medications for treating high blood pressure. But chicken breast as well has such small amounts of the proteins, which it could not be used to increase food and medical products for high blood pressure. Chicken legs and feet, which are regularly redundant as waste products in the US and are key soup elements elsewhere, emerge to be a improved source, according to a let go of American Chemical Society (ACS). Given to rats used to model human high blood pressure, the proteins made an important and extended decrease in blood pressure, the researchers stated. The research is planned for publication in the Oct 22 issue of ACS' biweekly Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. posted by sarah @ 7:10 AM permanent link   | Post a Comment |  Bookmark & Share 0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home
