[QUOTE="Hania_dietitian, post: 440300, member: 85682"] Here are some more: Mauby: Mauby is a popular drink or syrup in the Caribbean region. It is famous for its very distinct flavor and bitter aftertaste. Most of it is available in syrup form and from which it can be mixed with water, cola, and other drinks. There are also ready-to-drink Mauby tea bottles that are usually chilled. Some people prefer Mauby syrup in hot water similar to tea, while others prefer them in sweetened chilled bottles. The main ingredients of Mauby include the bark of a tree, sugar, and other spices for flavoring. A small study investigated effect of mauby on hypertensive patients (1). Significant decrease in blood pressure was observed in group of patients receiving mauby drink for two weeks. Systolic, as well as diastolic pressure has been lowered by 40%. Green Coffee Blood pressure is related to oxidant stress. Oxidant stress is increased, and antioxidant mechanism activities are reduced in hypertensive patients. Antioxidant vitamins (C & E) reduce blood pressure and improve blood vessel endothelial dysfunction in patients with hypertension. Ascorbic acid scavenges oxygen free radicals and improves endothelium-dependent vasodilatation by restoring nitric oxide activity in essential hypertension.
