High Blood Pressure Smoothie Recipe

This smoothie might help people with high blood pressure. Most cases of high blood pressure are caused by hardening of the arteries or even blockages. This results in that the heart has to work a lot harder to pump the blood through the body which is then called high blood pressure.

When someone has high blood pressure this can mean an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Generally middle aged people and overweight people are more affected by this.

In her book Raw Juices Can Save Your Life Sandra Cabot includes lots of recipes to help many healthy problems or issues ranging from high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, colds to even headaches and many many more.

For this smoothie you will need
- 1 banana
- 1 cm slice pineapple
- 1 cup milk (oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or rice milk)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

Put all the ingredients in the blender and enjoy your high blood pressure smoothie over some ice!

P.S. You can even enjoy this if you haven't high blood pressure; it still tastes yummy and is good for you!

Midday Melon Juice

Here is a special melon juice recipe from Jason Vale that is packed with vitamin A and C, betacarotene,, phyto-chemicals, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium! It will help you stay hydrated and it just simply tastes amazing!

What you will need:
- 1/2 watermelon (small)
- 1/4 lemon
- 2 pomegranates
- 100g raspberries

I personally prefer to juice everything apart from the raspberries and as the final step put the juice and the berries in the blender/fruit processor. It will make it thicker and you will be able to get more out of the raspberries. However this comes down to personal preference on how you prefer to enjoy your melon juice!

The above recipes is from Jason Vale's (Juice Master) book Turbo Charge Your Life in 14 Days !

Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro 67650

This is a review of the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro 67650.

At only the cost of approximately $70 this is a great juicer to even suit a lower budget!

It has quite a high horsepower of 1.1hp and comes with a one year warranty.

One of the downsides is that the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro 67650 generally has a higher wastage especially when you are juicing softer fruits or softer vegetables. However don't let this one fact put you off. As mentioned previously it is important to consider how often you will be using it and also what you would like to juice in the long run.

It is easy to assemble out of the box and easy to operate. Parts are dishwasher safe to enable easier cleaning.

Plus you can also fit whole fruits into the chute!

This juicer scored 4.5 stars of out 5 from customers that bought it on Amazon which shows that a lot of people were happy with their purchase.

Definitely great value for money the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro 67650.

Headache Remedy Juice

I make this juice every now and then when I get a headache and it can have quite an impact depending on the cause of your headache.

What you will need:
- 2 cabbage leaves
- 1 cup chopped broccoli pieces
- 1 whole apple
- 1 big carrot

Be warned this is not necessarily one of the best tasting juices, but it can be a great headache remedy juice.

Another thing that can help is if you take magnesium tablets which then acts as a pain reliever (4-6 tablets daily when you have a headache).

However always ensure that you are not allergic to any of the things mentioned and if you are in doubt check with you health care professional.

I hope the above headache remedy juice will also help you.
