If you increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet, you will also lower your blood pressure. Coffee contains caffeine which is a stimulant and can cause your blood vessels to contract and increase your blood pressure. However, this amount is small, and may or may not be significant.
But those who drink lots of cola may have a problem: high blood pressure. High blood pressure isn't good. It's linked to heart disease and stroke. There's been a lot of worry that everyday coffee drinkers may be at increased risk of high blood pressure.But that doesn't seem to be the case.
