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.
Some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others, but it has been shown to increase heart rate and blood pressure in some cases. If you're feeling off, reconsider that second cup of coffee or soda. Drink more tea. Sipping tea over the long term may improve your blood pressure by helping the blood vessels relax.
