RED MEAT
BLOOD PRESSURE NOT RAISED. LONDON, October 20. Red meat does not raise the blood pressure, says Dr. Clifford Hoyle, Research Scholar in the Cardiac Department of London Hospital. In a newspaper article, Di\ Hoyle says that red meat is no more harmful than any other protein. It can be eaten as safely as eggs or fish. Furthermore, a rigid salt restriction is not beneficial in uncomplicated cases. Nevertheless, it is essential to control the amount of food taken, as many high-pressure patients, especially men, habitually over-eat. No diet has any specific effect, but gradual reduction of weight is often valuable, relieving shortness of breath. Dyspepsia may even lower the pressure.
Many patients do not need treatment, but with other cases freedom from worry, rest, with fvequent weekends and days off and occasional days, in bed, are more valuable than drugs.
