Blood Pressure Balancing Juice

So many people nowadays have high blood pressure. In Australia, it is one of the most prevalent health conditions with 1 in every 3 adults (on average) having high blood pressure. It is a disease that can lead to other, more serious and often fatal health problems such as strokes, heart attacks and even heart failure. 

For many people, it is something that can very easily be avoided and by increasing whole plant based foods is a great way to decrease that number and get yourself back in a healthy range.

Research has shown that oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are abundant in fresh fruits and vegetables, and that the OPC quercetin is a natural supplement to lower blood pressure.

This recipe is a great one to include in your juicing schedule!
