A late study distributed in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism states how coconut consumption when coupled with regular practicing can demonstrate beneficial in combating hypertension. "The likelihood of utilizing coconut oil as an adjuvant to treat hypertension adds to the considerable rundown of profits associated with its consumption," said co-author Valdir de Andrade Braga from Federal University of Paraiba in Brazil. The diminishment in pulse might be explained by the improvement of the diminished baroreflex affectability and by the decrease in oxidative stretch in the serum, heart and aorta - key factors regulating circulatory strain, the researchers said.
The team led experiments on spontaneously hypertensive rats for a span of five weeks. It was discovered a combination of coconut oil and activity training was able to diminish weight gain as compared to those rats that were given saline yet were not presented to the activity training.
"Our next step is to start some clinical trials to check whether we can replicate those discoveries in hypertensive human patients," Braga said.
"This is an important finding as coconut oil is as of now being viewed as a popular "superfood" and it is being consumed by athletes and the general population who look for a healthy way of life," he added.
