Scientists have found out whether drinking tomato juice can lower blood pressure in older people with hypertension, Sports.kz reports with reference to Championat.com.

The results of their work were published in the journal Vocational Nursing Science.

In the study, older adults with high blood pressure drank tomato juice twice a day for three days. According to the research team, even this short-term treatment led to a significant reduction in the participants' blood pressure – from 160/100 mm Hg. Art. up to 150/90 mm Hg. Art.

As the authors note, this effect is likely due to the many beneficial ingredients in tomatoes. 100 g of vegetables contain 1 g of protein, 4.2 g of carbohydrates, 5 mg of calcium, 360 mg of potassium, 0.5 mg of iron, 40 mg of vitamin C and 6 mg of vitamin B.
