Researchers at the University of East Anglia (Great Britain) were able to find out exactly how blueberries affect certain health indicators, namely heart disease and diabetes..

Earlier studies by the staff of this University confirmed the positive effect of blueberries on the human cardiovascular system.. The purpose of the current study was to determine the mechanism that contributes to the positive effects of blueberries on human health..

Aedin Cassidy, professor explained: “Studies have shown that people who regularly use blueberries had a lower risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. Such results became possible due to the content of natural compounds - anthocyanins in blueberries. It is these compounds that help maintain the normal state of the cardiovascular system, and also give blueberries a blue color. ”.

It is scientifically confirmed that 150 grams of blueberries can improve the state of the cardiovascular system, normalize blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease by 12-15%. Peter Curtis, doctor, co-author of the study recommends that people who are predisposed to the development of cardiac pathologies, high blood pressure, diabetes - be sure to include these berries in your diet.
