Hypertension is an important factor in cardiovascular diseases. Specifically, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as lisinopril and ramipril, are synthetic drugs that are widely used to treat and control high blood pressure. Amaranth, a new up-in-coming super food, is packed full of health benefits. One specific benefit, is its effect on hypertension. Studies have shown that amaranth, and other rice proteins, have similar ACE inhibitor capabilities. So, having to treat your high blood pressure with synthetic drugs, try this recipe for a delicious breakfast that is packed full of anti-hypertensive agents.
