Minuman pencegah serangan jantung

Susu bukan hanya pelengkap makanan yang harus dikonsumsi setiap hari. Tapi, juga bermanfaat untuk menunjang kesehatan. Bahkan, menurut penelitian di Universitas Wageningen dan Harvard, minum tiga gelas susu setiap hari, mampu mengurangi risiko terkena penyakit jantung sebesar 18 persen.
Hasil penelitian ini sekaligus membantah mitos yang menyatakan bahwa mengonsumsi susu setiap hari dapat mengakibatkan penambahan berat badan dan berujung pada munculnya serangan penyakit jantung, stroke, bahkan kematian.Penelitian itu dilakukan dengan mengkaji 17 penelitian dari Eropa, Amerika, dan Jepang. Para peneliti tidak menemukan hubungan antara konsumsi susu biasa atau rendah lemak dan peningkatan risiko penyakit jantung, stroke, atau kematian."Susu adalah makanan yang bergizi dan sehat. Kaya akan nutrisi alami, seperti kalsium, kalium dan protein," ujar Cindy Schweitzer, Direktur Teknik, Global Dairy Platform.Kemudian, penelitian lain di Israel yang diterbitkan pada American Journal of Clinical Nutrition juga menyebutkan bahwa konsumsi susu kalsium yang lebih tinggi akan berpengaruh terhadap penurunan berat badan.Penelitian itu dilakukan terhadap 300 pria dan wanita yang mengalami kelebihan berat badan selama dua tahun. Kesimpulannya, orang yang mengonsumsi susu yang mengandung kalsium tinggi, kehilangan 38% berat badan mereka dibandingkan dengan orang yang mengonsumsi susu rendah kalsium.Peneliti Amerika Serikat juga mengkaji 21 penelitian yang mencakup hampir 350.000 data dan menyimpulkan bahwa konsumsi makanan yang mengandung lemak jenuh tidak berhubungan dengan peningkatan risiko, baik penyakit jantung koroner atau penyakit jantung. Penelitian ini diterbitkan pada American Journal of Clinical  Nutrition.Selain itu, ada lagi penelitian yang diterbitkan pada American Journal of Epidemiology juga. Penelitian terhadap 23.366 pria di Swedia ini mengungkapkan bahwa  konsumsi kalsium di atas tingkat harian yang direkomendasikan dapat mengurangi risiko kematian akibat penyakit jantung dan kanker sebesar 25%.

Drinks prevention of heart attack

Milk is not only complementary foods should be consumed every day. But it is also useful to support health. In fact, according to research at Wageningen University and Harvard, drink three glasses of milk every day, can reduce the risk of heart disease by 18 percent.
The results of this study at the same time denied the myth that states that the consumption of milk every day can lead to weight gain and lead to the emergence of heart disease, stroke, even death.
The study was conducted by reviewing 17 studies from Europe, America and Japan. The researchers found no association between consumption of regular or low-fat milk and increased risk of heart disease, stroke, or death.
"Milk is a nutritious and healthy food. Rich in natural nutrients, like calcium, potassium and protein," said Cindy Schweitzer, Director of Engineering, Global Dairy Platform.
Later, other studies in Israel that was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also noted that milk consumption is higher calcium will affect the weight loss.
The study was conducted on 300 men and women who are overweight for two years. In conclusion, people who consume milk containing high calcium, losing 38% of their body weight compared with those who consume low-calcium milk.
U.S. researchers also reviewed 21 studies that included nearly 350,000 data and concluded that consumption of foods containing saturated fat is not associated with an increased risk of both coronary heart disease or heart disease. The study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
In addition, there is another study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, too. A study of 23,366 men in Sweden has revealed that calcium intake above the recommended daily level can reduce the risk of death from heart disease and cancer by 25%.
