JAKARTA - Consumption of high amounts of protein, such as meat and vegetables, can lower blood pressure and smooth blood flow in the arteries, which has an impact on better health.

In a study, researchers from the East Anglia University (UAE) found that eating foods rich in amino acids, which play a role in developing protein, is very good for the heart, especially when accompanied by quitting smoking and doing sports.

"Increasing food intake containing protein, for example, meat, fish, dairy products, beans, sickles, broccoli and spinach are essential and able to reduce the risk of a person suffering from cardiovascular disease," explained the study's lead researcher, Dr. Amy total.

Previously, nutritionist from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Dr. dr. Inge Permadhi, MS, SpGK, reminded that the ideal consumption of daily protein for Indonesians is around 0.8 - 1.2 grams per kilogram per kilogram per weight.

If it is excessive, then there is a risk of triggering kidney damage. Then, proteins from animal and plant sources should be balanced, namely 1:1. Indirectly, studies conducted by mitigating and colleagues showed amino acid effectiveness for the health of the heart and blood vessels. This is as reported by ANTARA from Indian Express.
