Dairy Aisle Staple LOWERS Blood Pressure? (Yum!)

By Jack Taylor Posted December 16, 2021

If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, mainstream medicine seems to only have two ‘solutions:’ 

1. A lifetime of risky and expensive prescription medications… 
2. Or, a laundry list of foods you CAN’T eat. 

I don’t know about you, but neither of those sound good to me! 

Meanwhile, what the mainstream won’t tell you is that controlling – and lowering – your blood pressure DOESN’T always require a medicine cabinet full of pills or a super-restrictive diet.  

And today I’m here to back-up that statement! 

That’s because there’s new research that shows a delicious dairy-aisle staple can help you lower your blood pressure… 

It’s so effective, you’re going to want to add this food to your daily diet! 

According to a research study conducted by teams at the University of South Australia and the University of Maine, eating a daily dose of yogurt is associated with better and lower blood pressure for folks with hypertension.  

Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure, and when it’s not controlled it can lead to cardiovascular diseases like a heart attack or stroke.  

But this latest study has found that yogurt is capable of reducing blood pressure. 

How, exactly? After all, many in the mainstream have labeled yogurt as too ‘fatty’ for people with heart issues. 

Believe it or not, dairy foods contain a range of micronutrients – including calcium, magnesium and potassium – which studies have found help regulate blood pressure levels.  

In addition to these valuable micronutrients, yogurt also contains bacteria that promote the release of proteins which lowers blood pressure! 

In fact, the study found that, for those who consumed yogurt regularly, their blood pressure readings were nearly seven points lower than those who did not consume yogurt. 

There’s no arguing with those results! 

Now, when it comes to yogurt, there’s no shortage of options… but it still means you need to be mindful of what kind of yogurt you should be eating. 

Many yogurts contain extra, added sugars that provide zero health benefits. You want to avoid those. 

Look for whole, natural, and when possible – organic – yogurts that don’t have added sugars or artificial flavors.  

Yogurt is a great food to have for breakfast, or as a base for your favorite smoothie. 

Just remember that yogurt is also very calorie dense, so be sure to only eat the recommended serving size.
