Expert: 5 great evening drinks for people with high blood pressure

High blood pressure is a common condition, often called the 'silent killer' because it progresses with few obvious symptoms, but increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney damage.

In addition to medical treatment, some drinks rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and nitrates can help relax blood vessels, reduce inflammation, and improve cardiovascular function. Here, expert Carrie Madormo, a master of public health working in the US, shares 5 evening drinks that can help control blood pressure effectively, according to the health news site Verywell Health .

Tea helps lower blood pressure

Green or black tea is rich in antioxidants, especially catechins, which help improve blood vessel function and reduce inflammation. An analysis of 13 studies found that drinking green tea reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 2 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 1.7 mmHg. However, because tea contains caffeine, it can cause difficulty sleeping if consumed late. Therefore, it should be drunk in the early evening, at least 3-4 hours before bedtime to avoid affecting sleep.

Beetroot juice

Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which when entering the body will be converted into nitric oxide, helping to dilate blood vessels and increase circulation. Studies show that drinking beetroot juice can significantly reduce blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. The ideal time is to drink about 1-2 hours before bedtime, to promote the effect of lowering blood pressure while resting at night, while limiting bloating.

Tomato juice

A year-long study found that drinking tomato juice every day helps lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol. Tomatoes are rich in potassium and antioxidants that support heart health. It should be drunk in the evening about 1 hour after a meal, to help digestion and maintain the effect until night.

Pomegranate juice

Many studies have shown that drinking pomegranate juice regularly helps improve vascular endothelial function, reduce oxidative stress and lower blood pressure. Drinking pomegranate juice in the evening, 1 hour before bed, not only helps keep the heart healthy but also adds antioxidants.

Oat milk

Oat milk is rich in the soluble fiber beta-glucan, which helps lower cholesterol and helps control blood pressure. It is a light, easy-to-digest option, suitable for drinking about 30-60 minutes before bedtime. In addition to cardiovascular benefits, oat milk also brings a feeling of relaxation, supporting good sleep.

Adding these drinks to your evening routine, combined with a healthy diet, exercise and stress reduction, can help in natural and sustainable blood pressure control, according to the Times Of India.
