Uma grande revisão de estudos globais constatou que o maior consumo de leguminosas e alimentos à base de soja está associado a um risco reduzido de desenvolver pressão alta. Pessoas que consomem mais leguminosas tiveram 16% menos probabilidade de desenvolver hipertensão, enquanto a alta ingestão de soja reduziu o risco em 19%.

A análise, publicada no periódico BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health, combinou dados de 12 estudos observacionais de longo prazo nos Estados Unidos, Europa e Ásia. Os pesquisadores revisaram artigos publicados até junho de 2025 e identificaram padrões claros de dose-resposta. Os benefícios atingiram o pico em cerca de 170 gramas de leguminosas diariamente, alcançando uma redução de risco de aproximadamente 30%, e entre 60 a 80 gramas de alimentos à base de soja, com reduções de 28 a 29%.

Childhood sugary drinks tied to higher adult blood pressure risk

Researchers linked two or more daily servings of such drinks to a 52 percent higher risk compared with fewer than three servings per week. Swapping one daily serving for whole fruit was linked to lower risk.
