Wild dishes that surprise the heart. 

00:00:06.002 --> 00:00:10.182 
Seaweed soup with tofu and garlic is an
easy-to-cook dish but has many benefits for the cardiovascular system. 

00:00:10.802 --> 00:00:14.009 
According to the Journal of Medicinal
Foods, seaweed contains many cali and 

00:00:14.009 --> 00:00:16.682 
primary solvents that help lower
blood pressure and reduce cholesterol, 

00:00:17.142 --> 00:00:18.382 
two main factors causing heart disease. 

00:00:19.402 --> 00:00:22.107 
Garlic ingredients in soup contain
allicin, a compound that helps dilate 

00:00:22.107 --> 00:00:23.582 
blood vessels and increase blood circulation. 

00:00:23.922 --> 00:00:26.838 
Research published in Nutrition Journal
shows that garlic can help reduce blood 

00:00:26.838 --> 00:00:28.782 
pressure in people with mild high blood pressure. 

00:00:28.782 --> 00:00:33.382 
Tofu is also a heart-healthy plant
protein source thanks to its isoflavone content, 

00:00:33.702 --> 00:00:36.182 
substances that fight inflammation and improve blood vessel elasticity. 

00:00:36.782 --> 00:00:40.322 
An analysis from the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition shows that eating 

00:00:40.322 --> 00:00:43.862 
tofu regularly helps reduce the risk of
heart disease, especially in women.

tofu and cook for a few more minutes. 

00:00:50.662 --> 00:00:54.276
