Today, high blood pressure is one of the most common chronic diseases that many people are struggling with. The prevalence of this disease is increasing not only in developed countries but also in developing countries, and the results of studies conducted in these countries, including Iran, are evidence of this claim. So that, based on a national survey in 2016, it was found that about one-third of the adult population (30 years and older) in Iran suffer from high blood pressure, and the number of these people increases every year. This disease itself can lead to cardiovascular complications, which, with timely control, the possibility of such diseases can be reduced.
In recent years, the relationship between diet and high blood pressure has attracted the attention of many researchers. Observing tips such as reducing salt intake in the daily diet and getting minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium in the diet are among the things that reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure. According to research, vitamin E in sesame seeds, along with unsaturated fatty acids (more than 80%), calcium, potassium, and its special fibers, have a significant effect on controlling blood pressure. Sesame and its products, while helping to reduce blood pressure, can be effective in reducing the incidence of heart disease by having cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory effects.
Balanced consumption of sesame products such as tahini halva sesame sauce, sesame oil, and sesame cream, regardless of excess, can have positive effects on health and lead to a reduction in oxidative damage and inflammation and control of blood pressure.
With about 80 years of experience, Oghab Halva Company, as the first and most reputable Iranian company in the production of sesame products, in accordance with national and international standards, with the knowledge of the magical effect of this seed and backed by years of experience in using sesame seeds, continues to produce traditional products such as Ardeh Halva and modern products such as sesame sauce and sesame cream, in order to take an important step in improving people’s health and strives to produce and supply a wide range of sesame products in accordance with the needs and tastes of the community.
