Blueberries: A Fruit With Extraordinary Benefits

Blueberries have been shown to lower blood pressure and oxidised LDL cholesterol, both of which are risk factors rather than diseases themselves.

The heart health benefits of blueberries come from their lack of cholesterol. Fibre can also help lower blood cholesterol levels, which reduces the risk of heart disease.

They also contain a high concentration of phytonutrients, antioxidants, fibre, potassium, folate, vitamins C and B6, and vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 and folate both play a role in preventing the build-up of a chemical called homocysteine in the body. Too much homocysteine can damage blood vessels and lead to heart problems.
