Nowadays, there are more and more patients with hypertension and . According to the "China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2021", it is estimated that there are 245 million hypertensive patients in my country!
If the blood pressure is high, it is like a large fluctuation of the tide, which will cause serious impact on the blood vessels and greatly increase the risk of blood vessel damage. Over time, heart disease, kidney disease, cerebral hemorrhage , etc. may come to you.
However, in life, some people say that a common vitamin is the "nemesis" of hypertension, which can help control blood pressure. It is vitamin B2. What is the truth?
Some studies have shown that there is a negative correlation between vitamin B2 and hypertension. The specific mechanism is not completely clear, but it may be related to the following two points:
① Promote the synthesis of vitamin B6 in the body
Appropriately increase the intake of vitamin B2 can promote the human body to synthesize more vitamin B6. The latter can help lower blood pressure by improving the sensitivity of insulin receptor and protecting the vascular endothelium.
②Reducing sodium ion retention
The excessive amount of sodium ion in the blood is an important factor causing increased blood pressure. Some studies have shown that proper supplementation of vitamin B2 can reduce sodium ion retention and assist in lowering blood pressure.
In daily life, liver, kidney, eggs, fish, soybeans, milk, vegetables, mushrooms, cereals, yeast , etc. are rich in vitamin B2, which can be appropriately increased consumption.
In addition to this, do you know what factors are related to hypertension? What are the good ways to control blood pressure in daily life?
