Lower Blood Pressure Naturally

I read about a study that was done at Queen Mary University that looked at the heart protective potential of several beverages including green tea, wine, cocoa and cranberry juice. Researchers found a group of chemicals known as oligomeric procyanidins that block the body’s production of another chemical that causes blood vessels to constrict. These are flavonoids that work mainly as antioxidants in the body. These antioxidants are also found in grapes, berries, and green tea. Cranberries also contain these antioxidants and can help lower blood pressure and protect the heart from damage.
