Hypertensive nephropathy is health condition of a progressive kidney disease caused by chronic hypertension. According to the Transplantologii i Chorób Wewnetrznych Akademii Medycznej w Gdańsku, treatment of hypertension according to international standards would allow to reduce the still increasing number of patients with hypertensive nephropathy(*).

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of Hypertensive nephropathy
Yield: 2 servings (about 8 ounces each)
3/4 cup celery
3/4 cup of apple with peel
1 cup green tea drink 1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams(2 tea bags) of green tea, a slice of ginger and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and set aside for cooling to room temperature)

1. Place the celery, apple with peels, green tea, in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed.
3. Serve immediately

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. high blood pressure means raising pressure in your heart. If your blood pressure stays high over time it can damage the body in many ways.
Blood pressure medications have undoubtedly prevented many deaths from heart disease in the past 30 years, but also induced many irreversible adverse effects, including kidney damage.

Diet rich in fruits and vegetable and reduced intake of red meat, saturated fat and trans fat has shown to attenuated risk of hypertension(1). Recent study showed that celery(2) intake used conjunction with berries(3) and green tea(4) may be the potential drink for prevention and treatment of hypertension.

Celery is a species of Apium graveolens, belongings to the family Apiaceae, cultivated all around the globe as a vegetable. According to Chronic administration of hexanic, methanolic, and aqueous-ethanolic extracts of celery seed effectively exhibited an antihypertensive activity in chronic treatment of elevated BP in tested animals(5).

Dr. Dianat M and the research team at the Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences said," hydro-alcoholic celery leaf extract on systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR) and lipid profile in animals' model of hypertension induced by fructose"(6)
3‑n‑butylphthalide (NBP), an phytochemical found in celery seed used in traditional Chinese medicine exhibited significantly antihypertensive and attenuated progression of hypertensive effects through decreased oxidative stress and the expression of pro‑inflammatory cytokines(7).
Apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree, a species of the rose family Rosaceae. It is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits. With phytochemical flavonoids, apple and its peel inhibited angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in promoted the development of high blood pressure, Dr Balasuriya N and Dr. Rupasinghe HP. Suggested(8)According to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, "Flavonoid (found abundantly in fruits and vegetable)(10) intake has been inversely associated with mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke,..... Lowering blood pressure through increased dietary consumption of dietary antioxidants(such as flavonoid) may decrease the rate of end-organ damage that is secondary to hypertension"(9).

Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years. Due to its commercial values and health effects, green tea now has been cultivated all over the world in suitable climate.

Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), the main polyphenol presence in green tea is best known for its antioxidant and anti inflammatory effect. In animal model, the phytochemical exhibited anti hypertensive and progressive activity through reduction of oxidative stress in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), the Xi'an Jiaotong University Health Science Center study showed(11).

Dr. Yarmolinsky J and the research team at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, suggested that, intake of tea are shown to reduce blood pressure in individuals within prehypertensive and hypertensive ranges in the review of all relevant studies published from 1946 to September 27, 2013.(12).

Furthermore, green tea extract (GTE) inhibited the oxidative stress and ingiotensin (Ang) II induces endothelial dysfunction (ED) causes of hypertension through scavenging of superoxide anion generation, the University of Padova, insisted(13).

People who are at increased risk of Hypertensive nephropathy due to chronic hypertension, family history .....should drink at least one cup daily and people with Hypertensive nephropathy should drink the juices at least 3 times a day, depending to digestive toleration.
Change of life style and diet pattern are also recommended.
