Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Trying to get the perfect blood pressure can really wear you down.
The never-ending hours on the treadmill… the risky drugs from your mainstream doc…
And what does it get you? Some barely-moved numbers and a long list of side effects.
Plus, all the stress of managing it just ends up increasing your blood pressure anyway!
Fortunately, that all stops TODAY.
Because research shows there’s an easy way to END your blood pressure problems.
A new study has shown that taming your blood pressure doesn’t have to be an uphill battle.
Instead, you can make it a decadent adventure all thanks to this delicious treat that SLASHES your blood pressure.
I’ve talked about flavonoids before.
They’re the powerhouse nutrients found in all kinds of tasty foods like wine, berries, and dark chocolate… and their health benefits are nearly endless!
Because flavonoids are natural anti-inflammatories and antioxidants, they’re especially beneficial for your heart and brain.
And now, according to the American Heart Association, it appears that flavonoids are EXACTLY what your body needs to help keep your blood pressure in a normal, healthy range!
The researchers in this study recruited 904 volunteers and tallied their food intake, measured their gut microbiome, and then recorded their blood pressure levels.
When the study had ended, the researchers discovered that folks with the HIGHEST flavonoid intake had the lowest systolic blood pressure (the top number).
Not only that, they also had great gut microbiome diversity!
In fact, the gut played a huge part in why flavonoids were so good for the participants’ blood pressure.
When they crunched the numbers, the researchers discovered it was the flavonoids’ impact on the microbiome which made the real difference in blood pressure.
Now you have your marching orders! Eat more flavonoid-rich foods like berries, kale, onions, parsley, red wine, and tea.
And don’t forget to support your microbiome with healthy foods full of probiotics, like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut.

P.S. If you suffer from multiple sclerosis, there’s something you need to see. Researchers have found that flavonoids aren’t just great for your blood pressure… they could also ease your worst MS symptoms. Click here to find out more.
