I came across an interesting online article that eating salmon can lower blood pressure. So, I would like to summarize and share some of the interesting points. Many people over 40 years old begin worrying about the number of their blood pressure. It is said that one-third of adults, about 43 million, have high blood pressure in Japan. The high blood pressure is also called "Silent Killer" and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke gradually. Especially, people in their 40s to 60s are the most generation who start having high blood pressure. It is also time to notice changes of your health easily even when you are busy with work or with chores every single day. On the other hand, it found out you just have to eat salmon to lower your blood pressure. It has been scientifically proven by the research team all over the world. The biggest reason why salmon can lower blood pressure is because omega-3 fatty acids are abundant in salmon. Our body can't produce omega-3 fatty acids and we need to get it by having meals. There are mainly two type of the acids as follows EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid): It helps improve blood flow, protect blood vessels and reduce inflammation DHA(docosahexaenoic acid): It helps keep brain heath, improve memory and study ability, and widen blood vessels How much we should eat to obtain effects? The amount of omega-3 fatty acids to lower blood pressure needs about 3 gram per day. That means we need to eat salmon of 110 to 140grams. The volume is almost one piece in a salmon fillet. The research result showed those who take a few grams of EPA and DHA per day lowered their blood pressure by average 2mmHg compared to people who don't. Lowering blood pressure by 2 to 5mmHg can reduce the risk of heart attack by about 7% and stroke by about 10%. This is the effect we can get only by eating salmon without medicines. Personally, I love salmon, but eating salmon every day might be a bit hard for me, but I would like to try that as much as possible
