The Best Breakfast for Your Blood Pressure



In this subject I will give you the importance of eggs meal
I leave you with explanation


Whip up an omelet, keep your heart pumping. Eating egg whites regularly could be just as effective in lowering your blood pressure as taking certain medications, according to a new study presented at the meeting of the American Chemical Society.

When hypertensive rats were fed a specific peptide in egg whites called RVPSL, their blood pressure decreased. More good news: The amount of RVPSL the rodents were given was comparable to a low dose of Captopril, a blood-pressure-lowering medication.

Previous studies have revealed that the egg white peptide acts as an ACE-inhibitor—which helps relax blood vessels, thereby lowering your blood pressure—much in the same way Captopril and other high-blood-pressure medications work.

Of course, rats aren’t people—so more research is needed. For now, though, they’re worthy stand-ins, say scientists, and one day egg whites may be used to treat high blood pressure in combo with medication.

So keep on eating eggs, and reap plenty of other health benefits in the process. They’re packed with protein (6 grams per egg), low in calories (72 per egg), and contain two amino acids—tryptophan and tyrosine—that have high antioxidant properties.
