You’ve heard an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But experts are now saying the fruit we should be eating every day is blueberries!
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says that eating just one cup of blueberries a day can cut your risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 15%.
Researchers say the credit goes to plant pigments called anthocyanins. They’re antioxidants that give blueberries their deep blue color – and their power to improve blood vessel function.
So what happened in the study when people added a cup of blueberries to their daily diet?
Improved blood flow. Less stiffness in the arteries. And a noticeable drop in their risk for heart disease.
So, if you’re looking for a simple and delicious way to support your heart, blueberries are where it’s at!
