How does green tea lower blood pressure?
One of the reasons for high blood pressure could be loss of arterial elasticity due to aging. Another significant cause of hypertension is angiotension-converting enzyme (ACE), an enzyme secreted by the kidneys and blood pressure can be significantly reduced in most hypertensives by blocking ACE. Green tea is a natural ACE inhibitor. Studies show that animals and humans given green tea extracts have lowered blood pressure.
