Health advice for obese individuals: Eating 150 grams of blueberries daily can help reduce cardiovascular risk.

Blueberries are often hailed as a "superfruit" because they have anti-aging properties and can help prevent bladder infections. Recent studies have also shown that eating blueberries daily can reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Previous studies have shown that people who regularly eat blueberries have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, possibly because blueberries are rich in anthocyanins. This new study, a collaboration between the University of East Anglia in the UK and Harvard University in the US, indicates that consuming 150 grams of blueberries daily (about half a bowl) can reduce the risk of 12-15% in high-risk groups for cardiovascular disease. The related research was published in *The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition*.
Obese individuals who consume 150 grams of blueberries daily may have a 12-15% lower risk of cardiovascular disease (TP4T).
Professor Aedin Cassidy of the Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia said, "People with metabolic syndrome are more likely to suffer from heart disease..."strokeThe risk of developing diabetes is often higher than in the general population, and doctors typically prescribe statins and other medications to help manage this risk. Therefore, the research team selected a group of overweight patients with metabolic syndrome for a six-month study.
Dr. Peter Curtis, co-lead of the study, noted, "We found that eating 150 grams of blueberries daily has a sustained effect..."Improve vascular function和Arterial stiffness functionIts effects can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 12%-15%.
Berries have many benefits; frozen fruits still retain their nutritional value.
Blueberries are rich in healthy nutrients, including vitamins, fiber, minerals, and anthocyanins. Besides blueberries, which contain anthocyanins, these nutrients can also be obtained from red, blue, purple, and pink fruits and vegetables, such as strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries. Furthermore, berries, unlike watermelons which are very high in sugar, are more suitable for overweight individuals or those with metabolic syndrome.
Since Taiwan is not a blueberry-producing region, most blueberries are imported as frozen fruit, leading some people to worry about potential differences in nutritional content after freezing. However, there's no need to be overly concerned about the differences before and after freezing. A report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration indicates that fresh and frozen foods have the same nutritional value; freezing simply preserves nutrients for a longer period, so there's no need to worry about freezing destroying nutritional components.
