| Subject: Listen up, anarcho-capitalists: Eat More Blueberries To Have Healthy Aging Fri Aug 02, 2019 7:51 pm | |
| A review of new studies shows that the health benefits of blueberries could help promote healthy aging. Researchers found evidence supporting previous claims that the fruit can be a superfood for many people.
The studies, published in the Journals of Gerontology, show that blueberry consumption has been growing over the past years. Various groups of researchers considered the fruit as a great source of antioxidants compared to other fruits. "Since the 1990s, research on the health benefits of blueberries has grown exponentially," Donald Ingram, editor of one of the studies, said in a statement. "Studies have documented that this fruit ranks highest in antioxidant activity compared to many other popular fruits.” One study suggested that eating at least 200 grams of blueberries each day could help enhance blood vessel function. The same amount may also reduce systolic blood pressure. Blueberries contain anthocyanins that have been linked to improved health in people. These phytochemicals also give the berries the dark color. Ingram said recent research also highlighted the anti-inflammatory properties that contribute to the health benefits of blueberries. Chronic inflammation is known for damaging the body that increases an individual’s risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and asthma. Aside from reducing the risk of having diseases, eating blueberries may also promote better mental health. It contains high amounts of polyphenols, the micronutrients linked to improved memory in older adults. Another study also suggested blueberries offer the same brain benefits to children.
