Pomegranate juice
Not only is it tasty, but it’s healthy for those with hypertension. Those ACE inhibitors can also be found in pomegranates. In one study, this juice reduced ACE – an enzyme which can raise blood pressure – by 36 percent.
Low-fat milk
Studies have long found calcium to be beneficial to lower blood pressure levels. Don’t go for the full-fat and whole milks, though. Low-fat milk has more calcium and doesn’t contain the added fat found in whole milk.
Cranberry juice
This juice is good for more than just UTIs. Filled with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, cranberry juice can prevent any spikes in blood pressure. It can also dilate blood vessels, which increases blood flow. Be sure to get the unsweetened version of cranberry juice, as the added sugar is no good for your heart.
