We have already seen how the properties of the blueberry are many, all due to the large amount of antioxidants it contains. Today we want to deepen the beneficial effect that these precious berries have on cardio-circulatory health. Researchers at King's College London (UK), in a study published in the Journal of Gerontology Series A. have observed that 200gr a day of blueberries taken for a month improve blood vessel functions, reducing systolic pressure, that is the " maximum".

The 40 volunteers who participated in the study were asked to take a drink containing 200gr of blueberries and another type of drink for a month. Subsequently, blood and urine tests were performed; measured arterial pressure and flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery, considered a biomarker sensitive to the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The researchers then compared the effects of taking the blueberry beverage with those of purified anthocyanins and those of other drinks containing the same level of fiber or the same amount of blueberries and vitamins.

The properties of the blueberry on the blood vessel cells were indisputable: the effects of taking the blueberry drink on vascular function were already visible after two hours. During the test month the systolic blood pressure was reduced by 5 mmHg, a value similar to when the drugs are used to lower the pressure.

Positive effects are also derived from purified anthocyanins: as a result of their intake, the endothelial function, that is the internal lining of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels which plays a key role in regulating pressure and its coagulation, is clearly improved.

What was observed by the researchers was not found instead with the assumption of the alternative drink (therefore not based on blueberry), nor in the drinks with levels of substances and nutrients similar to blueberries.

The properties of the blueberry, once again, have been acclaimed by science as highly beneficial for the health of the human body, against one of the pathologies that is in the first place among the causes of death in the world: the heart attack.
