Can Hibiscus Tea Lower Blood Pressure? Almost 50% of US adults have high blood pressure, a condition that caused almost half a million deaths in 2018.

In this review, I'll show you the research showing hibiscus tea lowers blood systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Obviously, results will vary as hypertension is a complicated medical problem. How Does It Work? Hibiscus tea exhibits potent antioxidant effects that rival those of green tea. In addition, the herb appears to inhibit both aldosterone and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which regulate blood pressure. Some medications do this too. Does Hibiscus Tea Help Menopause?

The research on hibiscus tea is intriguing. 1. Reduce the amount of salt you use. Remember, processed foods often contain lots of salt. 2. Eat more potassium. Fruits and vegetables are great sources. 3. Aim for at least 30 minutes of aerobic physical activity per day. Walking is an example. The activity doesn't all have to occur all at the same time. 4. Add magnesium to your diet. Fiber-rich foods and magnesium supplements can help. 5. Lose weight if needed.

First, I’m pretty shocked at how low our BPs can be for us to be declared as having hypertension! We went from believing that normal BPs were UP to 140/80; not that we had Stage 1 hypertension at 140/82! What will this do to preexisting disease requirements with health insurance? But this review also shows that natural, plant-based therapies can be as good as or better than prescription medications! BP medications have bushelful’s of adverse side effects. Science needs to focus more on natural therapies, as well as listen to people who are healthy in old age. Joe, since you don’t have hypertension, WHAT do you take Hibiscus tea for? There must be many other health benefits from taking it? Will you tell us? Roseann, I hear you - a lot of people felt the same way about the new blood pressure guidelines. That 130/80 "elevated blood pressure" category sure made people angry. Im not sure what the insurance industry is doing with this information.
