Prevent cardiovascular disease!This kind of fruit can eat 150 grams a day to reduce blood pressure

In our country, there are 4 cardiovascular diseases among 10 elderly people. According to statistics, 3 million people die from cardiovascular disease each year. On average, one person is taken away by cardiovascular disease every 10 seconds.

Among them, we are familiar with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, etc., which are extremely dangerous.

This reminds us that the action of protecting the cardiovascular should start.

For cardiovascular, the fruit industry has a "king of berries", which is unexpected.

01

150 grams of blueberries per day

Reduce 12-15%cardiovascular risk

A random, double -blindness, and clinical trial of "American Clinical Nutrition" magazine revealed that eating blueberries can effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in obese people.

Research and recruited 138 overweight and obese people 50-75 years old, divided into three groups.

One group eats 150 grams of blueberries a day, a group of 75 grams of blueberries a day, and the remaining group of placebo is to eat.

The results showed that patients with 150 grams of blueberries daily, the risk of cardiovascular disease was reduced by 12-15%, while the other two groups did not significantly improve.

In addition, in order to study whether blueberries can improve the hypertension and arteriosclerosis of menstruation, Florida State University conducted a 8 -week random dual -blind test:

The results show that the participants who eat blueberry powder (equivalent to a fresh blueberry) every day have also reduced the degree of arteriosclerosis by 6.5%. In addition, their systolic blood pressure reduces 7 mm mercury, diastolic blood pressure reduces 5 mm mercury, and the decrease is decreased. Similar to the amplitude of the patient's use of antihypertensive drugs, it is a natural antihypertensive drug.

Cardiovascular protection mechanism: anthocyanins

Blueberry is so friendly for cardiovascular, thanks to its rich anthocyanins, and the average of 176 mg of anthocyanins per 100 grams of blueberries.

According to research, anthocyanin metabolites can enter blood circulation, significantly improve endothelial function, regulate blood vessel contraction, and anti -inflammatory.

The occurrence of cardiovascular disease is actually like playing Domino cards. When the first card falls, it will not be saved in time, and the subsequent cards will fall one by one until the collapse.

If the occurrence of arteriosclerosis, the invasion of inflammatory substances starts to cause damage to vascular endothelial cells and cause abnormal function.

Without improvement in the follow -up, the structure of the blood vessels will change, and cholesterol in the blood will be deposited to form plaques, and the crisis of gravity blood vessels step by step will be added.

In this process, anthocyanins can be saved to a certain extent, repairing blood vessels, and saving cardiovascular.

Other effects: prevent diabetes, healthy brain, relieve eye fatigue

In addition to anthocyanins, blueberries also contain fiber, vitamins, minerals, and a small amount of primary flowers, flavonol, and phenolic acid, which are beneficial to the human body, so its benefits are not only there.

In addition to good heart blood vessels, blueberries do not hesitate to prevent high blood sugar, improve brain cognition, and relieve eye fatigue.

1. Prevent diabetes

Eating blueberries often helps reduce the risk of diabetes.

The Harvard University School of Public Health has tracked about 200,000 people for nearly 24 years of eating habits and found that people who eat the most blueberries (that is, at least 456 grams per week) have the risk of type II diabetes. K) people are 23%lower.

2. Improve brain cognition

As you get older, people's cognition will slowly begin to decline. Eating blueberries often helps improve brain function.

A random and double -blind human test at the University of Ekstet confirmed that the elderly drink concentrated blueberry juice every day. When conducting cognitive tests, the cognitive function, brain blood flow and brain activation improvement showed.

3. Relieve eye fatigue

Eating blueberries often can improve eye fatigue and amblyopia.

According to research, blueberry anthocyanins can promote the re-synthesis of vision in the retina cells. Eating 40-80 grams of blueberries a day can protect the vision of the eyes.

"The King of Beat" is really well -known. Don't miss this gift of nature.
