Glutamic acid, an amino acid that is abundant in vegetable protein, as a regular part of the eating pattern may be associated with lower average blood pressure. Researchers found that the higher the intake of dietary glutamic acid as a percent of total daily protein intake, the lower the blood pressure. Sources of vegetable protein include beans, whole grains and tofu.
