Eating unsaturated fats, like
those in olive oil, along with leafy greens and other vegetables creates
a certain kind of fatty acid that lowers blood pressure, scientists
said Monday.
These nitro fatty
acids are formed when consuming spinach, celery and carrots that are
filled with nitrates and nitrites, along with avocado, nuts and olive
oils that contain healthy fats.
Nitro
fatty acids appear to inhibit an enzyme known as soluble epoxide
hydrolase, which regulates blood pressure, said the research in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a peer-reviewed US
journal.
