A recent study by the US Department of Agriculture showed a tasty juice to be effective at reducing pre-hypertensive blood pressure levels to normal in 8 weeks.
What is the juice, which incidentally can be found on most any grocery or health food store shelf?
The gift of cranberries seems to keep on giving, with their powerful antioxidants taking on the worst a body can do to itself.
Most people who have had trouble with urinary tract infections have already been told the virtues of drinking cranberry juice, but recently a study by the USDA has shown that it can knock pre-hypertensive people out of the danger zone in just 8 weeks.
Participants were divided into 2 groups- one drinking unsweetened cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail) and those drinking a placebo which was similar in calories, taste, color, and vitamin C content.
What they found was that the average blood pressure levels went down from 121/73mmHG to 118/70mmHG for the juice drinkers when changing nothing else in the diet.
Powerful antioxidants are thought to be the source of the great benefits, and experts concluded that it doesn’t matter if it’s sweetened, unsweetened, or low-calorie. As long as it has a high concentration of pure cranberry juice, benefits can be seen.
