More and more often we realize how important nutrition is to live well, healthy and longer. In fact, there are foods that eaten often and in large quantities can be bad for our health.
For example, as already covered in this article, some foods and drinks can harm those with high triglycerides. In fact, several studies have shown that some foods, given the nutrients they possess, can raise these values. The same is true for other conditions such as stroke and hypertension.
Few people know that these 2 foods decrease the risk of stroke and hypertension
According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, if our diet includes at least two daily servings of dairy products, the risk of hypertension decreases. The study, which lasted over 9 years, involved almost 190,000 participants from different countries between the ages of 35 and 70. Specifically, the researchers observed that the consumption of whole and semi-skimmed milk led to a decrease in the development of hypertension.
The same goes for stroke. As reported by the Veronesi Foundation in a 2020 article, the consumption of dairy products could affect the likelihood of being affected by a stroke. Specifically, it refers to lean dairy products.
Stroke and hypertension
Few people know that these 2 foods decrease the risk of stroke and hypertension. We therefore understood that eating habits are important and that if we suffer from certain diseases we must be very careful.
Cerebral stroke is a condition that occurs when a brain vessel suddenly closes or ruptures causing damage to brain cells. Therefore, the oxygen and other nutrients that the blood carries to our cells are lacking. This particular condition can lead to permanent brain damage. The damage can manifest itself in the form of paralysis on one side of the body or difficulty with thinking and language.
Arterial hypertension, on the other hand, is determined when there is a constant presence of high levels of pressure above the norm, in a resting condition. Often it does not manifest itself in an obvious way and it is precisely for this reason that many people do not know they suffer from it.
In fact, it is a potentially dangerous condition because it can cause heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
For these reasons, it is important to control your diet in order to try to control hypertension and to try to prevent diseases such as strokes.
