Nutty Perk for Women's Blood Pressure

Nutty Perk for Women's Blood Pressure:

"The study doesn't show why soy nuts were linked to lower blood pressure. But the researchers write that diets that include soy foods 'may be a practical, safe, and inexpensive' way to reduce blood pressure.

Larger studies should be done to confirm the findings, write the researchers, who included Francine Welty, MD, PhD. Welty is an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, preventive cardiologist at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Specialized Center of Research in Vascular Injury, Repair, and Remodeling."
