For high blood pressure. I would recommand drinking this fruit juice call: Xango. One bottle a day. It is not cheap.. but the blood pressure of my family members' became normal.

XanGo juice provides a great antioxidant.

But, when drinking it.. be careful because drinking it too much can actually create LOW blood pressure!

You might want to do more research on it.

One bottle a day is what my grandfather does... please do drink this depending on your personal health :)! You need to drink this for a couple of months to see the result... there are no results instantly. (according to my grandfather).

Best,
