DRINKS TO LOWER HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

DRINKS TO LOWER HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

As a nutritionist, I highly recommend the drinks below when looking to lower and keep your blood pressure at moderate levels;

Beet juice

Drinking raw beet juice has proven to be effective in regulating blood pressure. This vegetable juice is high in minerals, antioxidants, vitamins, nitrates and other plant compounds which exhibit blood pressure-reducing traits. They can also boost overall heart health.

Berry juice

Most berries are loaded with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that significantly promote heart health and can prevent cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure.

Green tea

Packed with antioxidants and catechins which help open up and relax blood vessel muscle, eventually decreasing and facilitating blood sugar regulation. Other drinks you can take include; tomato juice, skim milk, and prune juice.
