Tomato juice not only saturates the body with vitamins, but also helps control blood pressure.
This fact was established and proven by scientists from Indonesia.
The researchers shared details in a scientific paper for the journal Vocational Nursing Science .
Scientists conducted an experiment in which an elderly volunteer with hypertension took part.
This person did not take any measures to monitor his health condition.
As part of the experiment, a volunteer drank tomato juice twice a day for three days.
The result showed a decrease in pressure from 160/100 mmHg to 150/90 mmHg.
Scientists noted that during the experiment, the tomato drink revealed one of its beneficial properties.
And vitamins B and C, as well as potassium, played a direct role. They have a complex positive effect on the body.
Each substance has its own role. For example, potassium helps maintain the osmotic pressure of body fluids and is important in the context of regulating water and acid-base balance.
Vitamin C thins the blood, and vitamin B is involved in processes that improve blood supply to the heart.
The researchers concluded that tomato juice can be called a good addition to classical methods of hypertension therapy.
