There are four proteins in chicken legs that have the potential to be effective in controlling high blood pressure.

Persistent high blood pressure is a risk factor for stroke, heart disease, and heart failure, as well as a major cause of kidney failure. 4.5% of all world diseases have high blood pressure as a major predisposing factor, and it is common in both developing and developed countries.

The researchers extracted a type of collagen from chicken thighs and fed it to rats with high blood pressure. They found that the rats that ate the collagen had significantly lower blood pressure after eight hours than those fed only saline. After four weeks, this group of rats had a very significant reduction in blood pressure. Collagen is a protein found in the connective elements of animals. [
