Episode notes
Egg Whites Lower Blood Pressure Naturally
- Egg white proteins lower blood pressure by releasing peptides that relax arteries and boost nitric oxide.
- This natural mechanism avoids the side effects common with pharmaceutical blood pressure drugs.
Ovotransferrin Not Required for Benefits
- Removing ovotransferrin from egg whites still lowers blood pressure and enhances antioxidant effects.
- Other egg white proteins support vessel health by reducing oxidative stress independently.
Enzyme-Treated Whites Safe and Effective
- Enzyme-treated egg whites benefit hypertensive rats by lowering angiotensin 2 and raising nitric oxide.
- This form reduces allergic histamine release, making it safe for egg-sensitive people.
