Abstract :
Hypertension is a cardiovascular disorder which affects many people in various countries, especially in Indonesia. Treatment of patients with hypertension grade I and grade II is more focused on non-pharmacological treatment, one of which is by increasing a healthy lifestyle that starts with consuming foods that are high in potassium and flavonoids, one of which is tomatoes. The purpose of research was to determine the effect of giving tomato juice to reducing blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the Telaga Health Center Work Area. The research design used the Pre-Experimental Pre-Post Test method with a total sample of 15 people taken used a sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. The results showed the average systolic blood pressure before giving tomato juice was 146.67 mmHg and the average diastolic blood pressure was 91.33 mmHg and the average systolic blood pressure after giving tomato juice was 131 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure was 84.33 mmHg. The results showed the average systolic blood pressure before giving tomato juice was 146.67 mmHg and the average diastolic blood pressure was 91.33 mmHg and the average systolic blood pressure after giving tomato juice was 131 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure was 84.33 mmHg. The results of the Wilcoxon test before and after the intervention of giving tomato juice showed systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the intervention group each got a p value on the systolic variable = 0.003 (p ? ? 0.05), and the p value on the diastolic variable = 0.000 ( p ? ? 0.05). Consumption of tomato juice is effective in reducing blood pressure both systolic and diastolic in hypertension sufferers, this is because tomatoes contain several ingredients including lycopene and bioflavonoids which act as antioxidants and potassium lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral retention and increasing cardiac output. Thus it is expected the use of tomato juice therapy can be applied as an alternative therapy (non-pharmacological) in patients suffering from grade I and II hypertension.
