The research results showed that the average blood pressure before being given carrot juice was 152/97 mmHg and after giving carrot juice it was 142/87 mmHg and the systolic p value was 0.005 and 0.000 in systole. Then the average blood pressure before being given young coconut water was 151/96 mmHg and after being given young coconut water was 144/85 mmHg, the test results obtained a systolic p value of 0.013 and a distolic 0.000. Then for effectiveness, the p value for systole was 0.954 and 0.814 for distole.
