Last Updated: 2026/05/16, Some people think that tea has a blood pressure-lowering effect, but foods rich in cocoa powder may actually help more, according to German researchers. Foods rich in cocoa seem to help lower blood pressure, but green and black teas may not, according to the Archives of Internal Medicine of the American Medical Association. The researchers divided the hypertension volunteers into two groups. One group took the control on time according to the doctor's advice.

Foods rich in cocoa seem to help lower blood pressure, but green and black teas may not, according to the Archives of Internal Medicine of the American Medical Association. The researchers divided the hypertension volunteers into two groups, one group taking blood pressure control drugs on time according to the doctor's advice, and the other group eating coffee food. Two weeks later, they found that the curative effects of the two groups were basically the same. While using coffee foods instead of drugs to lower blood pressure, there is hope to reduce the risk of heart attack by 10% to 20%, the researchers said.

Coffee is better than tea in lowering blood pressure. Why? It turns out that coffee and tea contain certain polyphenols, these chemicals help prevent cardiovascular disease, and most fruits and vegetables also contain these polyphenols. However, coffee has a polyphenol that is more active in lowering blood pressure, while it is not found in tea.

The researchers warn: do not often go to coffee shops just because coffee can lower blood pressure, because things go to extremes, and too much is bad for your health. Studies have shown that dark chocolate mousse may be replaced by other high-calorie desserts, and any reasonable diet must include a certain amount of coffee rich in sugar, fat and calories. "from a practical point of view, coffee foods are likely to enter the ranks of foods required to lower blood pressure," he wrote. "
