Would you like to drop your blood pressure 5 points easily? Just drink a 4 to 6 ounce glass of V8 juice each day. The blend of vegetables will cause your systolic number (the top number, which is also the higher of the two BP numbers and measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, i.e. when the heart muscle contracts)to go down. Your diastolic number (the bottom number, which is also the lower of the two numbers, measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats, i.e., when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood) could also go down a few points. V8 comes in several flavors and sizes. I prefer the V8 Spicy Hot Juice (Low Sodium). If you buy the regular V8 with more sodium, the effect will be less.
