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.
Blood pressure: Drinking coffeeâas much as six cups a dayâdoes not increase blood pressure levels long-term. Blood sugar: The antioxidants in coffee (caffeinated and decaf) aid in blood sugar control, reducing risk for type 2 diabetes. Even drinking a small amount of coffee each day can reduce risk for type 2 diabetes, and drinking as many as six or more cups a day may further reduce risk.
