Hypertension is the major global risk factor for mortality, accounting for 13% of all deaths. Worldwide, though, hypertension identification, awareness, treatment, and control are poor. A healthy lifestyle can lower blood pressure without causing any negative side effects and can also enhance cardiovascular health in general. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease accounts for 17.5 million (31%) of all annual fatalities, placing a considerable burden on the global health system. Almost 10 million of these fatalities are thought to be specifically related to hypertension, which is currently thought to be the main risk factor for the burden of disease worldwide. Materials and methodologyQuantitative research approach and a quasi-experimental control group pre and post-test research design was adopted for this study. The study was conducted in selected community area at Sangli- Miraj- Kupwad Corporation area. The sample size for the study was 50 (25 in experimental and control group) using G power analysis with non- probability purposive sampling technique. Data collection was done by using demographic variables, clinical variables and observational table for assessment. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. ResultsIn the present study, it was found that after intervention of beet root juice in experimental group, there was significant difference in post interventional parameters of blood pressure level i.e., p value was 0.0001. The result shows that there was significant difference between pretest and post test scores between experimental and control group. The obtained ‘t’ value of systolic and diastolic blood pressure was 21.82 and 6.26 respectively and p value was 0.0001 (< 0.05), null hypothesis was rejected. It was evident that the systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduced significantly after administration of beet root juice in experimental group. ConclusionThe study finding concludes that beet root juice administration was effective in reducing blood pressure among hypertensive clients. It was also found that people had experienced less fatigue, were more energized and well hydrated with consumption of beet root juice. Hypertension cannot be cured but managed, controlled effectively with beet root juice along with routine treatment.
