4 fresh juices that help reduce hypertension

Hypertension is one of the most common and dangerous factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Although it often has no visible symptoms, it can cause serious health consequences if not treated in time, but an easy and effective solution according to researchers is the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetable juices. 

1. Tomato juice

Tomato juice may lower blood pressure, in part, due to its potassium content. A small, recent study conducted in Indonesia looked at men and women ages 40 to 70 with hypertension. Participants drank a serving of tomato juice every morning for six weeks. At the end of the study, the group experienced a greater reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings compared to the group that drank only water.

2. Cucumber juice

The same study found that cucumber juice may also help lower blood pressure. In the study, a group of men and women drank a serving of cucumber juice every morning for six weeks. According to the findings, their systolic and diastolic blood pressure dropped more than the group that drank only water. Researchers believe that the potassium, as well as the water content in cucumbers, may help the body flush out excess sodium and support more balanced blood pressure values ??over time.

3. Pomegranate juice

A large review of older studies found that in 11 out of 17 studies, adults, mostly aged 20–60, experienced small reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after drinking pomegranate juice for several weeks.

4. Beetroot juice

Some studies suggest that nitrate may help lower blood pressure. Nitrate, which is found in beet juice, is a nutrient that our bodies convert into nitric oxide, another nutrient that may help lower blood pressure.

If you want to add these juices to your diet, start with small amounts and see how you feel. You can drink a juice with your breakfast, blend a few ingredients into a smoothie, or enjoy it as an afternoon drink. /CNA
