An effective way to reduce blood pressure without drugs was proposed by scientists from the University of Illinois (USA). According to experts, a short restriction in food contributes well to reducing pressure, writes the medikforum resource..

“A food system that involves fasting for several hours can be effective for those who want to lose weight without counting calories.. At the same time, it contributes not only to weight loss, but also to lower blood pressure, ”the scientists said in the publication of the journal Nutrition and Health Aging..

As a result, the participants of the experiment, without any effort on themselves, began to consume about 300 kilocalories less per day than they had in their previous diet, and lost about 2.6% of their weight (about 3 kg). Their systolic pressure dropped by about 7 (± 2) ml Hg.
