Celery is rich in potassium, which can induce diuresis and lower blood pressure. This may be related to apigenin, an important component in celery, which can lower blood pressure and affect the central nervous system. A new study published in Hypertension, a journal of the American Heart Association, also points out that drinking celery juice properly does help to lower blood pressure.

However, we should not rely too much on diet to lower blood pressure. For patients with long course of disease, other diseases and poor long-term blood pressure control, diet alone can not achieve the goal of lowering blood pressure, and drug treatment is still needed. When the seasons change, patients with hypertension should always monitor their blood pressure at home.
