Study demonstrates that cocoa flavanols lower blood pressure & arterial stiffness as much as some blood pressure medication. Perhaps there might be something to that bedtime cup of cocoa p.s. make sure it's high in flavanols & ditch the sugar https://t.co/hl9m6vDu94

英国サリー大学の研究者らは、健康な被験者11名を用いた繰り返しランダム化クロスオーバー比較試験で、カカオフラバノールの摂取(862mg)は血圧及び脈波伝達速度(PWV)が高い時間帯にはそれらを低下させるものの、朝の血圧が低い場合には効果がないことを報告しています。 https://t.co/VU48sTiW8I

ココアフラバノールは血圧と動脈硬化を低下させることが確認された。 ココアフラバノールの大部分は腸内細菌による代謝を受けており、その影響があるのではないかとのこと。 ただし被検者は元々正常血圧の方なので、高血圧症の方でも同じ効果が得られるとまでは言えない。 https://t.co/Bkki9u6hdM
