Veggie Diet May Lower High Blood Pressure
Washington DC - Vegetarians tend to have lower blood pressure than the general population, but it hasn't been clear whether their diet or their lifestyle guards them against hypertension until now.
"It's the diet itself, and it is clearly the diet of choice for people who want to get their blood pressure under control," said Dr. Neal D. Barnard, president and founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and co-author of the report, which appears in the January issue of Nutrition Reviews.
