Respected experts such as Dr. Mark Hyman have called it the \u201cmother of all antioxidants.\u201d But now it seems that it\u2019s even better than was initially thought.<\/p>\n<p>A recent study from University of Michigan shows that grapes work to promote increases in glutathione levels within the heart \u2013 an antioxidant that fights against heart disease that is specifically linked to high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The scientists fed rats an extremely high fat diet. Then they supplemented them with a large amount of powdered grape.<\/p>\n<p>The results were outstanding. The grape powder actually prevented the hearts of the rats from becoming enlarged and the arteries from hardening, as usually happens with humans and animals on a high fat diet. <\/p>\n<p>Once the scientists were aware of the positive benefits of grapes, they then went on to conduct a further study.<\/p>\n<p>Now they fed the grape-rich diet to rats suffering from hypertension. This new diet lasted for 18 weeks and the results were even more significant than before:<\/p>\n<p>The grapes actually altered the very genes of the animals. <\/p>\n<p>And by altering the genes the grapes boosted the antioxidant abilities of the cells in the heart, thus preventing it from stiffening and suffering under the ravages of high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>This shows that even genetic high blood pressure can be healed naturally.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blueheronhealthnews.com\/health\/?page_id=472\">But even more powerful than grapes are 3 easy blood pressure exercises, found here \u2013 guaranteed to bring your blood pressure below 120\/80 \u2013 starting today\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people agree that if they\u2019ve been eating unhealthy, not exercising or under a lot of stress, their high blood pressure could be healed with lifestyle changes.
