(NaturalNews) From helping prevent asthma to treating stomach ulcers, probiotics are being found to be incredibly beneficial. These live microorganisms found in foods like yogurt and sour cream have now been found to help improve our blood pressure through their regular consumption. Recent research has found that individuals who regularly consume probiotics over an extended period of time (at least eight weeks) modestly lower their blood pressure.
It is estimated that one in every three Americans suffer from high blood pressure. This is said to cost the United States over $100 billion in healthcare services per year (estimated from a 2008 study) due to the fact that high blood pressure can lead to brain damage, heart disease and premature aging. The ability to naturally suppress high blood pressure with fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals is vitally important.
