Wild Blueberries Benefit Blood Pressure, Reduce Damaging Inflammation

December 30, 2014: 12:00 AM EST
The adverse effects of a high-fat diet can be reversed by eating wild blueberries, also known as bilberries, according to a study in Finland. Bilberries were shown to have beneficial effects on both blood pressure and nutrition-derived inflammatory responses, the researchers found in a mouse study. An integral part of the Nordic diet, bilberries contain polyphenols, especially anthocyanins, in significantly higher proportions than in commercially cultivated blueberries.
