Researchers from Norwich
Medical University (Britain) said that eating a small slice of steak or salmon
everyday could be as good as stopping smoking.

People who consume a high amount of protein tend to have
lower blood pressure, healthier arteries and lower risks of heart attack and
stroke.
Amino acids- key protein- building “material” – which help
to boost the strength of cells, tissues and muscles in the body.
People with a diet which is high in amino acids will get
similar benefits to those who give up smoking, reduce salt consumption or
increase physical exercise.
Their study’s result, published in Nutrition Magazine was
based on a health research on 2,000 British women. Scientists did an
investigation on the types of foods which those volunteers ate and focused on 7
different amino acids. Surprisingly, they found that the volunteers who had the
highest intake of amino acids would be associated with lower blood pressure and
reduced arterial stiffness which was the main factor leading to heart attack
and stroke.
Dr Amy Jennings, lead researcher from Norwich Medical
University, said: “The result from this study shows a positive influence of
amino acids on cardiovascular health.” Changing your daily meal with 75g of
steak, 100g of salmon or 0.5l of skimmed milk will help you avoid the risk of
heart- related diseases.
Protein-rich foods such as lean meat, fish, daily
dairy-produce, beans, broccoli and spinach contain many valuable compounds,
researchers from Eastern Anglia University say.
