What should I drink to lower blood pressure quickly and safely?

Quang Minh (theo Heathline) |

Several natural beverages have been shown to safely and effectively help lower blood pressure.

Beetroot juice

Beetroot juice is one of the most researched drinks for its blood pressure-lowering effects. According to a study by the American Heart Association (AHA), beets are rich in natural nitrates, which when consumed are converted into nitric oxide in the body, helping to dilate blood vessels and improve blood circulation.

As a result, blood pressure was safely lowered. Another study published in the journal Hypertension found that drinking beetroot juice every day can lower systolic blood pressure by up to 10 mmHg within a few hours.

Hibiscus Tea

Hibiscus tea has been shown to lower blood pressure thanks to powerful antioxidants like anthocyanins. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), anthocyanins help dilate blood vessels and reduce stress on the vessel walls, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Drinking 3 cups of hibiscus tea daily for 6 weeks can significantly reduce blood pressure, especially in people with slightly high blood pressure or at high risk of developing high blood pressure.

Coconut water

Coconut water is a rich source of potassium, a mineral that helps balance sodium levels in the blood — an important factor in controlling blood pressure.

Potassium in coconut water helps dilate blood vessels, reducing pressure on the vessel walls, helping to lower blood pressure naturally. The World Health Organization (WHO) also recommends consuming potassium-rich foods like coconut water to maintain stable blood pressure.

Green tea

Green tea is rich in antioxidants such as catechins, which dilate blood vessels and improve blood circulation. Catechins can inhibit the formation of substances that cause blood vessels to constrict, helping to lower blood pressure naturally.

A meta-analysis of green tea studies found that drinking 2–3 cups of green tea per day may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, especially in people with high blood pressure or prehypertension.

Low fat milk

Low-fat milk is a good source of calcium and vitamin D, two nutrients that are important for lowering blood pressure. According to the American Heart Association, calcium and vitamin D deficiencies may be linked to high blood pressure, and getting enough of both can help keep blood vessel walls healthy and reduce your risk of high blood pressure.

Adding low-fat milk to your daily diet can significantly reduce blood pressure, especially in people at risk of developing high blood pressure.

Diluted apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which dilates blood vessels and improves blood flow. Acetic acid helps reduce renin levels, an enzyme linked to high blood pressure, thereby helping to lower blood pressure.

A glass of warm water mixed with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a little honey can help lower blood pressure safely, but be careful not to overuse apple cider vinegar because its high acidity can irritate the stomach.
