Consumption of fish and marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) lowers systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure.
Incorporating fish or n-3 PUFAs into the diet may help lower blood pressure.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Independent effects include lowering of systemic vascular resistance (reducing systolic blood pressure by approximately 3-5 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by approximately 2-3 mmHg).
Why this rating
The claim is based on findings from animal-experimental studies, randomized trials, and observational studies.
