They are the five words that make you cringe… the ones your doctor almost seems to relish delivering.
“YOU HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.”
Because once your doctor says your blood pressure is “high,” there’s a good chance he’s not letting you leave his office without a prescription!
A prescription you’ll be told you have to take for weeks… months… and even YEARS just to get your blood pressure down to his ‘acceptable’ levels.
But here’s the thing when it comes to treating high blood pressure that most mainstream docs just can’t come to grips with…
In most cases, high blood pressure simply doesn’t need to be treated with a prescription drug!
Case in point? A new study reveals a simple, effective ‘veggie trick can help sink your high blood pressure… without drugs!
According to a study published in the Journal of Herbal Medicine, multiple clinical trials have found that incorporating lycopene into your diet can reduce blood pressure levels.
Yes, the same compound found in tomatoes.
These studies have found that depending on how high your blood pressure is, lycopene can reduce systolic blood pressure (the top number) levels anywhere from 2.6 to 10 points!

And if you battle high blood pressure, sometimes a few points here-and-there make a HUGE difference in your readings.
Lycopene is a potent antioxidant that can block oxidative stress within blood vessel walls. This allows your blood vessels to pump nitric oxide more effectively throughout the body, which helps your blood vessels ‘relax’ so blood can pass through more easily.
And getting your daily dose of lycopene isn’t going to make you feel dizzy – which is an all-to-common symptom of blood pressure meds.
While lycopene is often times associated as a health benefit of ketchup… ketchup is loaded with added sugars.
So, if you want to get your lycopene from a natural source, stick to the good ‘ol tomato. And with spring right around the corner, tomatoes are going to more bountiful (and ripe).
You can also find lycopene supplements at your local pharmacy or big box store. If you do go the supplement route, just be sure to stick with the dosage listed on the product label.
You should also talk to your doctor about lycopene if you have high blood pressure, and if you’re on any prescription medications.
