Apple - Apples taste great and provide essential vitamins, minerals and fiber that may help to protect from chronic diseases. 

An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
The old saying “ to eat an apple going to bed, will make the doctor beg his bread” has been justified by its many health-rich properties. Apples are excellent detoxifiers and apple juice can destroy viruses in the body. Benefits of Apples: 1. Apple cleans teeth and strengthens gum 2. Will make the cholesterol level lower 3. Detoxify the body and has an antiviral property 4. Apple will also prevent constipation because it helps digestion 5. One large apple supplies almost 30% of minimum amount of fiber that should be consumed daily[b] But as to people with high blood pressure, I am not really sure if it is still advisable to eat apple.[/b]

Apple is good since it make You more relax before bed. My grandmother had high blood pressure and angina pectoris (anny attack of painfull spasm or crushing pressure accompained by sensation of suffocating), she never had any problem after eating apple. I can also sugest once a day to drink garlic cloves with yogurth.

I have always heard that apples are good for you no matter what. Your mom or yourself may want to ask her family doctor about her condition though to see if it will be a good thing for her. I know that high blood pressure is nothing to play around with. I hope they can get her elevated with it. Be safe and ask her doctor though.

Without exaggerating the benefits of apple, I would say it is absolutely ok to eat as many as you like. A high BP patient can go for all kinds of fruits, FOR SURE.
