My diet used to be horrible until I was diagnosed with high blood pressure at age 39 and the doctor wanted to put me on blood pressure medication.  I decided to see if I could lower my blood pressure with food and I did.  The smoothie recipe below is just one of many things I started eating in the 6 months following my diagnosis.  This smoothie is loaded with natural foods that act as anti-inflammatories and dilate blood vessels naturally.  In addition, it tastes great.
