Description

ABSTRACT
Hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood pressure on the walls of the arteries. Hypertension can lead to several complications, such as coronary heart disease, right ventricular hypertrophy, and brain targets in the form of stroke. Hypertension management can be done with non-pharmacological therapy, including giving red watermelon juice and tomato juice as a pharmacological companion in patients with hypertension. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of giving red watermelon juice and tomato juice therapy to hypertensive respondents at the Harapan Kita Elderly Social Institution in Palembang. This study uses a Quasy Experimental design with a Pre-Post Non Equivalent Control Group Design approach. The population of this study were all residents of the Harapan Kita Elderly Social Home in Palembang. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The sample size is 20 respondents who meet the inclusion criteria, each of which is 10 respondents who are treated with red watermelon juice and 10 respondents are treated with tomato juice. The results showed a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure in the red watermelon juice group, and a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure in the tomato juice group. In general, both the red watermelon and tomato groups can reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertension sufferers. Red watermelon contains L-Citrulline which helps dilate blood vessels which increases blood circulation in accordance with systolic blood pressure when the heart muscle contracts, and tomatoes contain potassium which is able to relieve blood vessel tension in accordance with diastolic blood pressure when the heart muscle is not contracting. It is hoped that the orphanage can take regular blood pressure measurements and include watermelon and tomatoes in their daily diet.
