Blueberries help fight atherosclerosis
July 12 – NVL. Experts emphasize the importance of starting prevention of atherosclerosis from an early age. Fortunately, the recommended treatment is not only effective, but also pleasant.
Blueberries, with their vibrant color and delicious taste, are not only a treat for the palate, but also a powerful ally in the fight against clogged blood vessels. Including blueberries in a child’s diet from an early age can lay the foundation for lifelong cardiovascular health. Even for older adults, blueberries offer numerous benefits, making them an important addition to any balanced diet. Anthocyanins, the substances responsible for the rich color of berries, play a decisive role in the fight against cholesterol plaques and maintaining the purity of blood vessels. Among all berries, blueberries are particularly rich in concentrated anthocyanins, making them one of the most effective natural remedies against atherosclerosis.
Blueberries contain the highest concentration of essential nutrients in their delicate skin. This small fruit is high in catechins, flavonols, triterpenes, chlorogenic and phenolic acids, and vitamins C, E, and K. In terms of minerals, blueberries contain phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and iron. Blueberries also have a low glycemic index, making them suitable for people with diabetes. Regular consumption of blueberries provides a number of benefits, including preventing circulatory diseases, improving brain function, normalizing the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, speeding up metabolism, and helping to combat stress.
“Of course, ideally, such berry therapy should be started from the earliest years, but blueberries are very useful for people of advanced age,” comments Olga Bolotnikova, a therapist.
To reap the benefits of blueberries, it is recommended to consume an average of 100 grams of blueberries per day. Including this modest amount in your daily diet can go a long way in keeping your blood vessels healthy and preventing atherosclerosis. Adding blueberries to a child’s diet from an early age is a great strategy for instilling healthy eating habits. They can be consumed in a variety of forms, such as fresh, frozen, or as an ingredient in smoothies, yogurt, or cereal. Blueberries can also be added to baked goods, salads and sauces, offering a versatile and tasty addition to dishes. *The article is for informational purposes, a doctor’s consultation is required
