Abstract Summary Objective To determine the best time to measure blood pressure for accurate and consistent readings. Context Blood pressure fluctuates naturally throughout the day. Understanding these circadian patterns helps optimize measurement timing for diagnosis and management of hypertension. Methods Used Approach A review of clinical guidelines and studies from NIH, Mayo Clinic, and Harvard Health was conducted to compare morning versus evening blood pressure readings. Data Collection Data included timing of measurements, pre-measurement conditions (e.g., before caffeine, exercise, or medication), and associations with cardiovascular outcomes. Researchers’ Summary of Findings Impact on Health Blood pressure is lowest during sleep, rises...

  Abstract Summary Objective To evaluate whether regular vinegar consumption can safely and effectively lower blood pressure in humans and explore its potential mechanisms of action. Methods Used Approach A narrative review was conducted using recent literature from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and major clinical resources including Mayo Clinic and the National Institutes of Health. Both human and animal studies were reviewed for measurable blood pressure changes and biological plausibility. Data Collection Findings were extracted from randomized trials and meta-analyses assessing systolic and diastolic changes after vinegar or acetic acid intake, noting dosage, duration, and reported side effects. Researchers’ Summary of Findings...
