High protein diet is good for heart health

A new study shows that eating high-protein foods rich in amino acids contributes to heart health, and the effect can be comparable to smoking cessation or exercise. The study, published in the recently published Journal of Nutrition, said that amino acid-rich plant proteins can help reduce the risk of hypertension, while animal proteins help reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom conducted a study of 2,000 normal-weight women and analyzed how these women's eating habits are related to hypertension and blood vessel health.

The results of the study showed that people who ingest more amino acids have lower blood pressure and milder atherosclerosis.

The study also found that food sources and sources of amino acids are also very important. A person taking more vegetal amino acids will have lower blood pressure; if they eat amino acids through licking, arteriosclerosis is less severe.

The researchers said that the study showed that some amino acids appear to have a protective effect on cardiovascular and may contribute to the promotion of new blood vessel health. Eating more protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, beans, broccoli, and spinach can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The researchers said that the research focused on 7 amino acids such as arginine, cysteine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, leucine and tyrosine, and animal foods containing glycine and ammonia. Acids and tyrosine and other components, but intake of more glycine, leucine and tyrosine, the degree of arteriosclerosis is relatively mild. All seven amino acids seem to contribute to lowering blood pressure, with plant foods being most effective.

Researchers point out that protein intake that is most beneficial to cardiovascular health is equivalent to eating 75 g of steak, 100 g of salmon fillet or 500 ml of skim milk per day.
