Blood pressure that is. A newly released scientific study by the University of Barcelona, Spain contends that you should reach out for a daily serving of gazpacho instead of your standard issue blood pressure medication. According to their research, habitual consumption of gazpacho will lower hypertension due to the effect of gazpacho's main ingredients (tomato, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, etc.) Do you know what else is new? In spite of salt (one of gazpacho's ingredients) "the results of the study describe that arterial pressure
of gazpacho consumers is lower than that of non-consumers. The reason
may be that bioactive elements of gazpacho counteract the effect of
salt ingestion”. Interesting? Check out Universitat of Barcelona study
