I have recently read about pomegranate juice and grape juice (together) being used to lower blood pressure and having anti-inflammatory benefits. What do you know about this? Will healthy balance be making these two juices together anytime soon?

Pomegranate and grape juice can be healthy additions to your diet. Both pomegranate and grape juice are filled with disease fighting antioxidants. The juices have been thought to help reduce artery clogging plaque buildup, reduce blood pressure, and improve heart health. Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2005) concluded that pomegranate juice can help stop atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Scientists concluded that antioxidant filled juices (blueberry, cranberry, orange, grape, pomegranate, etc) can help improve blood flow in the arteries.
