Eating strawberries or blueberries regularly three or more times a week can lower a woman's risk of heart attack by a third. Similarly, according to a study published in the journal Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
The study states, berries contain high levels of flavonoids called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins can be useful to help dilate the arteries, reducing the buildup of plaque in blood vessels and other cardiovascular benefits. The researchers said the beneficial flavonoids are also found in grapes, blackberries, eggplant, and fruits and vegetables.
