Herbs, spices lower BP in high dosage
Overview
Cardiometabolic disorders are a global burden on health system and their management is of utmost importance. Dietary guidelines in many countries including the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia recommend flavoring foods with herbs and spices as a strategy to reduce salt intake.

In US-style diet, addition of a relatively high culinary dosage of mixed herbs and spices of 6.6 g tended to improve 24-h blood pressure after 4 week, compared with lower dosages of 0.5 and 3.3 g, in adults at elevated risk of cardiometabolic diseases.
