Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce blood pressure?

According to a study done in Tokyo, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were found to lower blood pressure. People whose diet had liberal servings of fatty fish (e.g. trout, salmon, and mackerel) walnuts, flaxseed, all rich in omega-3 fatty acids were found to have slightly lower blood pressure than people who ate diets with less of this nutrient. Other parameters which help one to lower blood pressure are eating less salt, losing excess weight, avoiding heavy drinking, eating more fruit and vegetables, whole grains (these provide the body with valuable fibre, minerals, vegetable proteins and other nutrients) and getting more omega-3 fatty acids.
