CONSUMPTION OF NITRATE-RICH VEGETABLES TO REDUCE BLOOD PRESSURE

食用富含植物性食物的食物可以降低血压。然而，这些降血压饮食中最重要的成分还没有明确的定义。将对血压升高的人群进行一项干预研究，以确定增加蔬菜摄入量是否会降低血压，以及是否建议食用富含硝酸盐的蔬菜（主要是绿叶蔬菜）会对血压有更大的好处。

Consumption of plant food-rich diets lowers blood pressure. However, the most important components of these diets for blood pressure lowering have not been clearly defined. An intervention study in people with elevated blood pressure will be conducted to determine if increased consumption vegetables results in lower blood pressure, and if focused advice to consume nitrate-rich vegetables (mainly green leafy vegetables) will result in greater benefit on blood pressure.
