1. High-quality protein can prevent hypertension<br />Hypertension seizes the lives of many people every year quietly, high blood pressure are thus known as the quot;
silent killerquot;
, in order to protect life and health, the prevention of high blood pressure becomes positive and meaningful. In recent years, scientists have studied the relationship between blood pressure and protein, they find that intake of high-quality protein in the body can prevent high blood pressure.<br />Protein is the most important life activities material basis, from the composition of each cell to the body's structure, from growth to repair damaged tissue, from metabolism to the enzyme, the composition of immune mechanisms and hormones, to keep people from the vitality of the delay aging, longevity can not be separated from proteins. Studies have shown that high protein intake decreased the incidence of hypertension, even if the high-sodium diet, as long as high quality animal protein intake, blood pressure is not elevated.<br />The mechanism of high-quality animal protein preventing the high blood pressure, is possibly by promoting sodium excretion, to protect the vessel wall, or to participate in blood pressure regulation by amino acids to play a role. Therefore, in daily life vegetarian who stress is not desirable to prevent high blood pressure. In the diet it should be appropriate to choose animal protein such as chicken, duck, fish, milk, etc., especially high-quality fish which is essential.<br />Proteins have a role in the prevention of high blood pressure, but in the view of the protein metabolism, the the possibility of a boost factor can not be completely ruled out, because in the process of decomposition of protein, it can produce a pressor effect of certain amines, such as enzyme amines tryptamine, phenylethylamine, etc., of these substances in normal renal function can be further oxidized to aldehydes, excreted by the kidneys. However, if renal insufficiency or renal hypoxia, it can lead to accumulation of amine, and will display pressor effect fully. In addition, protein, fat and sugar in the body can be transformed into each other. Intaking protein excessivly will cause excessive heat, in the long time, it can cause obesity, or hardening of the arteries, causing high blood pressure, so high-quality protein intake should not be too much.<br />Article From:<br />http://www.healthangel.org<br />
