Berries
Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries contain powerful antioxidants, including flavonoids, that protect blood vessels from damage. Research published in Neurology found that people who eat berries at least twice per week have a 14% lower risk of stroke. The high fiber content of berries helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels, further supporting heart health. Their natural anti-inflammatory properties contribute to improved circulation and reduced oxidative stress. Berries can be enjoyed fresh, frozen, or blended into smoothies for a heart-healthy boost.
