Fried Eggs, Blood Pressure and Cholesterol - A Healthy Lifestyle?

Fry Your Eggs and Keep Your Blood Pressure Down: A study by the University of Alberta in Canada has found frying your eggs could actually be the healthy option. Scientists believe that when eggs are friend, the intense heat of the pan causes more ACE inhibitory peptides to be released into the body. The ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme) inhibitory peptides work by dilating the blood vessels, which lowers your blood pressure and ultimately lowering the risk of you suffering heart disease. The bottom line is to Get your blood pressure checked regularly. ACE inhibitors (Inhibitors of Angiotensin-Converting Enzymes) are also used for treating patients suffering from hypertension, often being chosen pharmaceuticals for the treatment.

Can Strength Training Help Men Lower Cholesterol and do you really need supplements to reduce it further? A recent study has reported that strength training helps men lower their cholesterol levels, without the need for supplementation with protein. The report by Dr. Carol A. DeNysschen, published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports, studied twenty eight men who had elevated levels of cholesterol. Groups were tested randomly.

The men were randomly split into three groups and performed strength training three days a week for 12 weeks. The three groups of men were given different 'supplements'; one group a soy based, one a whey based supplement and the other group was given a placebo. The conclusion of the study was that men in all three groups had gained strength, lost fat and showed reductions in cholesterol levels. It also indicated that supplementation along with the strength training, actually made no real difference to body fat percentage or the cholesterol levels of the men. However Dr. DeNysschen did suggest that further studies needed to be carried out on soy based protein supplements to see if men who were at risk of heart disease would benefit from this type, more than whey supplementation because they could be healthier for the heart.
