 Eating more legumes and soybeans reduces the risk of high blood pressure by 30 percent

Eating about 170 grams of legumes daily reduces the risk of high blood pressure by about 30 percent.

Regular consumption of legumes and soybean-based foods is very effective in reducing the risk of high blood pressure, a new study has shown. According to a large report published in the journal 'BMJ Nutrition Prevention and Health', people who eat more of these foods are found to be much less likely to have high blood pressure.

Analyzing various studies conducted around the world, scientists have found a clear result. The risk of high blood pressure has been found to be reduced by 16 percent in people who eat more legumes. Similarly, this risk has been found to be reduced by 19 percent in people who eat more soybeans and dishes made from them.

According to the research, eating a certain amount of these foods daily is the most beneficial. Eating about 170 grams of legumes daily reduces the risk of high blood pressure by about 30 percent. Similarly, eating 60 to 80 grams of soy foods daily reduces the risk by 28 to 29 percent.

But scientists have said that eating more than that does not provide any additional benefit. Here, 100 grams of beans or soybeans is understood to be one cup of cooked beans or about 5 to 6 tablespoons.

This research included data from 12 long-term studies conducted in various countries in the United States, Europe and Asia. Beans and soybeans are rich in elements such as potassium, magnesium and fiber. These nutrients help balance blood pressure. The fiber in beans relaxes and widens the blood vessels in the body. In addition, a substance called 'isoflavones' found in soybeans also helps reduce blood pressure.

Currently, people in countries around the world, including Europe and the UK, eat very little beans. Although it is recommended to eat 65 to 100 grams of legumes daily for heart health, people are only eating 8 to 15 grams per day.

According to nutritionists, this research provides a strong basis for people to prioritize legumes and soybeans as the main sources of protein in their daily diet.

Study Conclusion: Exercise Reduces Risk of Death from Alcohol Consumption

Study Conclusion: Exercise Reduces Risk of Death from Alcohol Consumption

A study conducted in the UK has shown that regular physical exercise reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease caused by alcohol consumption.

We all know that alcohol consumption affects health. It is advised to consume alcohol in limited quantities or to stay away from it to stay healthy.

The extent to which alcohol consumption affects a person depends on their physical condition, age, their lifestyle, etc. A study conducted in the UK has also shown that the effects of alcohol are reduced in people who exercise regularly.

The study, which was conducted with the aim of finding out whether physical activity reduces the harm caused by drinking alcohol, has been published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

This research was conducted on 36,370 people in the UK and Scotland. The study, which was conducted over a few years, also assessed the incidence of cancer and heart disease deaths caused by alcohol consumption.

The people participating in the research were divided into different groups, ranging from non-drinkers to heavy drinkers. In which those who never drank alcohol, those who drank before but have stopped, those who drink only occasionally, those who drink within a certain time limit, those who drink a lot and those who drink excessively were divided into separate groups.

On the other hand, groups were also determined based on physical activity. The study was divided into 3 groups: not at all active, moderately active and very active.

Heavy drinkers were found to have a 40 percent higher risk of death from cancer and heart disease. People who drink alcohol in limited quantities but are not physically active also had a higher risk.

People who also drink alcohol and keep themselves physically active had a lower risk of death from these diseases.

This study concluded that physical activity reduces the risk of alcohol on health.

According to experts, alcohol consumption creates a lot of pressure on the digestive process. It increases 'oxidative stress' in the body. Alcohol also affects the process of digesting fat in the body and plays a role in increasing cholesterol. High blood pressure also increases the risk of heart disease.

The study concluded that physical activity can reduce these risks to some extent.

Although physical exercise reduces the health risks associated with alcohol consumption, the study recommends limiting alcohol consumption and getting regular physical exercise to stay healthy.
