in the effectiveness of giving tomato juice and cucumber juice in reducing
blood pressure in those who experience hypertension in terms of gestational
age. Research Methods: Pre-experimental research with the type of one group

sampling technique is non-probability sampling with a purposive method. The
study was divided into 2 variables, namely the independent variables, namely
the consumption of tomato juice and cucumber juice. Research Results: The
results of statistical tests are known Asymp. Sig (2 – Talled) has a value of
0.263, because 0.263 > 0.05, it can be concluded that the hypothesis is
rejected. This means that there is no difference in giving tomato juice and
cucumber juice in reducing blood pressure in those with hypertension. This
means that tomato juice and cucumber juice both have the same efficacy in
reducing blood pressure in pregnant women. However, from the Mann –
