This Fruit Nosedives Blood Pressure and Prevents Heart Attack

Nothing beats fruits when it comes to great health benefits.

One tiny delicious fruit has now been found to be the king of natural healing.

In fact, a new study conducted by the University of Mississippi Medical Center found that adding this fruit to your diet will lower your blood pressure 7.5 points.

Even more importantly, it decreases your risk of heart attack a whopping 32%.

Blueberries carry more types of antioxidants than any other type of food and therefore fight free radicals and inflammations like nothing else. What’s more, they’re loaded with Vitamin C, fiber, and the mineral manganese, all of which are essential for the body.

A cup of blueberries is only about 80 calories, so it’s a perfect snack for people on a diet.

The answer lies in a chemical compound called pterostilbene, which is found in blueberries and grapes. Pterostilbene helps to lower blood pressure, according to the findings of a new study.

A group of researchers conducted a randomized, double-blind study in which participants were administered different doses of pterostilbene extract, up to 125 milligrams per day, or a placebo (which does nothing).

All participants who were administered the extract showed a reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The average drop was about 7.5 points.

Note that the researchers used extract in this study. You’d have to eat a lot of blueberries to get the same amount of pterostilbene. But because blueberries include so many other antioxidants, a handful or two a day is plenty to get great health benefits.

Other research that focused on data from the Nurses’ Health Study II reviewed the diets of 93,000 women. There, the researchers discovered that women who included blueberries regularly in their diet were 32% less likely to have a heart attack compared with those whose diet was rich in other fruits and vegetables but did not include blueberries.

Both studies have one message: eat more blueberries!
