Blueberries are a small package with big benefits.
Researchers think the antioxidants in blueberries (and other berries) called anthocyanins may dilute blood vessels and decrease blood pressure. According to a recent study, just
one cup of blueberries per day can help reduce blood pressure and arterial stiffness in post-menopausal women, both of which are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Blueberries work great as a snack,
topping, or ingredient because they’re available year-round, they add vitamin C and fiber to your diet, and they're only 80 calories per cup.
