Sesame oil lowers blood pressure

 

By Kylie Taggart

 

TAMIL NADU, INDIA & shy; Researchers from the Annamalai University in

Chidambaram here found cooking with sesame oil in place of other oils

lowers blood pressure and the amount of medication needed to control

hypertension.

 

Dr. Devarajan Sankar (PhD) and colleagues studied 328 patients taking 10 mg to

30 mg of the calcium channel blocker nifedipine to control their

hypertension. The participants were asked to switch to sesame oil from

their regular cooking oil for two months. They consumed on average 35 g

of sesame oil per day.

 

Their average systolic and diastolic blood pressures were reduced from

166/101 mm Hg to 134/84.6 mm Hg. The nifedipine dosage was also lowered from an

average 22.7 mg a day to 7.4 mg a day.

 

Sesame oil is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. The

researchers had previously reported it lowers blood pressure in

hypertensives taking diuretics and beta-blockers.

 

The current data were presented at the Inter-American Society of

Hypertension meeting recently.

This is good news, but raises a couple of concerns for me. Plant oils high

in valuable polyunsaturates and high in Vitamin E, are not uncommon. Extra

Virgin Olive oil, Sunflower Seed oil, Flax oil, Perilla oil, etc. are all

more or less high in these same nutritional factors. Can these and other

similar oils be expected to also lower blood pressure? Also, does Sesame

oil withstand the heat levels reached during cooking, without destruction of

its nutrtional benefits. I've read that even Olive oil is said not to be an

ideal oil for cooking, and is best used fresh and cold. Is it known, or is

it suspected that Sesame oil might contain unusual nutritional factors not

present in other similar oils, that might explain an unique power to reduce

blood pressure?

slightly more than 6 teaspoons of oil. This is a rather ambiguous statement

in the quoted post below, because it speaks of " cooking with " Sesame oil,

leaving me to wonder if the food eaten by the subjects was cooked in 35 gms

of oil, or subjects in some way or other ingested this amount of oil. This

is quite a bit of oil, even if it's the only oil used in their diet, by the

subjects.

Hi

Concerning the post I just sent, I also wanted to add, that the study

required subjects to consume 35gms of Sesame oil. The study spoke of

subjects using this oil for " cooking. " This is quite a bit of oil, I'm

estimating about 7 teaspoons.
