Abstract

Background: Gestational hypertension is usually defined as high bloodpressure that develops after 20 weeks of gestation in the absence ofproteinuria. Beets and star fruit contain vitamins and minerals such as Bvitamins and calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron, which can safelylower blood pressure in pregnancy.Objective: Determine the effect ofbeetroot juice (Beta vulgaris L) and star fruit (Averrhoacarambola L) on reducing blood pressure in pregnant women in the second trimester with gestational hypertension.Method: This pre-experimental research was a one-group pretest-posttest design with 200 ml/day of beet and starfruit juiceintervention for two weeks. The samples taken were 15 second trimesterpregnant women with gestational hypertension.The data taken is bloodpressure before and after treatment—data analysis using paired t-test.Results: data onthe mean systolic blood pressure before treatment is 146.53mmHg and after treatment is 126.07 mmHg and the average diastolic blood pressure before treatment is 94.53 mmHg and after treatment is 91.13mmHg. There is an effect of beet and star fruit juice administration onsystolic and diastolic blood pressure in second-trimester pregnant womenwith gestational hypertension (p 0.05).Conclusion : pregnant women withgestational hypertension is to treat hypertension using beet and starfruit juice so that hypertension can be treated immediately.Keywords: Beetroot Juice, Beta vulgaris L , Star Fruit , Averrhoa carambola L, Gestational Hypertension

Processing of Starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) on the Acceptability of Sweets as a Snack Food for Hypercholesterol Sufferers: Study of Color, Taste and Aroma

“…The high acid content and high water content of the fruit means that this fruit is rarely consumed as fresh fruit, and its shelf life is relatively short. One way to overcome this challenge is to process it into dried sweets, which are snacks made from fruit preserved in sugar and dried (Li et al, 2016;Retnaningsih & Wijayanti 2020). This process not only reduces the sour taste of the fruit, but also extends its shelf life.…”
