CASE STUDY: THE EFFECT OF TOMATO JUICE ON BLOOD PRESSURE OF HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS IN SUMBANG VILLAGE
Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension is when systolic blood pressure exceeds 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure exceeds 90 mmHg. Uncontrolled hypertension can cause various complications that can be fatal, especially in the cardiovascular system. Hypertension can be treated with pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. Non-pharmacological therapy can be done by consuming fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes. Tomatoes are believed to act as antioxidants, natural vasodilators, and diuretics that affect blood pressure. Purpose: This case study aims to determine the effect of tomato juice intervention on blood pressure in patients with hypertension.. Methods: This research is a case study with a nursing approach that applies evidence-based interventions in patients with hypertension. There were 3 respondents in this study who met the inclusion criteria. Discussion: The intervention of tomato juice on the three respondents proved effective in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Tomato juice has various beneficial ingredients such as potassium, lycopene, vitamin C, folic acid, and magnesium, which are natural vasodilators, antioxidants, and diuretics that affect blood pressure and mood. Conclusion: The intervention of tomato juice as a nonpharmacological therapy in patients with hypertension can reduce blood pressure.
