Potatoes Good For Your Blood Pressure...
Dear Reader,
At last, potatoes get their due. While we all know French fries and potato chips aren't healthy forms of this veggie and are likely candidates for all the added weight we're all carrying, it might surprise you to learn that research has found that when cooked properly, potatoes might actually be very good for the heart... not to mention the taste buds.
There's a small pilot study that has found that a couple of servings of spuds a day can lower blood pressure as much as the tried and true oatmeal, and without causing you to gain weight.
The American Heart Association estimates that one in three American adults is impacted by high blood pressure. That's about 73 million of us.
What's even more surprising is that this condition, once associated with aging and older people, now also affects about 2 million teens and kids in America.
A professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton, Joe Vinson headed the work on blood pressure and potatoes, analyzing 18 subjects who ate 6 to 8 small purple potatoes at two meals each day for a month.
Their systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom) blood pressure numbers dropped by 3.5% and a statistically significant 4.3% respectively.
What's even more impressive is that most of the subjects were either overweight or obese, and many were taking prescription medications for high blood pressure during the research, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Even though participants in the study were taking medications for blood pressure, the team still saw a drop in readings. And none of the subjects gained any weight.
Research using larger numbers of subjects is needed, though the findings of this work do give some evidence that potatoes might be helpful for blood pressure, just as coffee has been shown to be. The two foods do share a polyphenol known to lower blood pressure in mice.
Vinson reminds us that potatoes can be a perfectly healthy food when not fried in oil or loaded down with high fat toppings like sour cream, butter, bacon bits or melted cheese.
Microwaving, as the participants did in the study, is a neutral way to cook these veggies, without removing any of the powerful nutrients or adding calories and fat.

Potatoes Good For Your Blood Pressure... Continued...
The American Dietetic Association agrees that potatoes are a fantastic source
of potassium, known to help manage blood pressure. They're low in fat, pretty
low in calories and full of nutrients, especially in the skin.
The skin of purple potatoes is likely an even richer source of antioxidants than
other varieties. Though less popular than white or red, purple potatoes have
higher levels of polyphenol antioxidants. This variety is more available than
they've been in the past, and you're likely to see them in your supermarket,
specialty food stores or even local farmer's markets.
High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) left untreated increases your
risk of developing heart disease, kidney disease, hardening of the arteries,
damage to your eyes and stroke. The aim of your doctor is to detect and treat
high blood pressure before these complications have a chance to take hold.
The research on potatoes and blood pressure was presented at the 242nd National
Meeting * Exposition of the American Chemical Society held this year in Denver.
To your good health,
