According to a recent study in the Journal of Nutrition, daily snacking on fresh blueberries may help to prevent hardening of the arteries aka the main cause of heart attacks and strokes! The effectiveness of these little blue guys is most likely due to their high antioxidant content, which reduces inflammation that harms the walls of the arteries.
So what are you waiting for? Starting today, add some blueberries to your morning oatmeal, have them as an afternoon snack, or as a healthy dessert – whatever works for you!
