Homemade Grape Juice: Lower Blood Pressure and Reduce Allergies

If you love grapes, then you’ll love this homemade grape juice.

Grapes are a wonder cure against heart attacks, according to new research. They have the ability to lower high blood pressure by up to 5% and cholesterol by 14%! They also contain powerful antioxidants called polyphenols, which slow and prevent many cancer types. They help with allergies, too, thanks to the active compound called quercetin, a natural anti-inflammatory.

This drink can be made in juice or smoothie form. I prefer it juiced, but that’s just me. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
