ÖZET
 Sistolik kan basıncının 140 mmHg ve diyastolik kan basıncının90 mmHg üzerinde olması olarak tanımlanan hipertansiyon, Türkiye'de önemli bir halk sağlığı problemidir. Hipertansiyonun önlenmesinde beslenme alışkanlıkları büyük önem taşımaktadır. Polifenollerden zengin çay, şarap, üzüm, kakao, zeytinyağı, soya gibi yiyecek ve içeceklerin diyette düzenli olarak tüketilmesinin kardiyovasküler sistem üzerinde koruyucu etkileri olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu koruyucu etkiler; süperoksitanyon temizleme ve vasküler oksidatif stresi azaltma gibi fonksiyonları ile ilişkilendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, polifenollerden zengin besinlerin kan basıncı üzerine etkileri özetlenmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Hipertansiyon; kan basıncı; polifenoller
ABSTRACT
 Hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, is an important publichealth problem in Turkey. Nutritional habits have a great importancein the prevention of hypertension. It is thought that regularconsumption of foods and beverages such as tea, wine, grapes, cocoa,olive oil and soy, rich in polyphenols, have protective effects on thecardiovascular system. These protective effects have been associatedwith functions such as superoxide anion scavenging and vascular oxidativestress reduction. In this review, the effects of foods rich inpolyphenols on blood pressure are summarized.

Keywords: Hypertension; blood pressure; polyphenols
