The variety of fruits we commonly know is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, which help the body fight chronic diseases and cancer. A recent study published in the “Circulation†magazine found that older people sprinkle some blueberries when drinking yoghurt or mix some strawberries in their daily drink juices. This can reduce the risk of heart attacks by using fruits. The following are the six kinds of fruits that are beneficial to the heart of the middle-aged and the elderly.
1. Blackberry
These delicious berries are rich in polyphenols and help prevent cardiovascular disease and even cancer. They contain more fiber than other types of fruit: a cup of blackberry contains about 7g of fiber. (Recommended daily intake of fiber is 25~35g.) In addition, they are also rich in vitamin C and trace amounts of iron, calcium, and vitamin A. There are many ways to eat blackberries, you can add some when baking, or sprinkle some on the whole grain toast, you can also grab a hand to eat.
2. Blueberry
Eating blueberries helps memory. They are rich in chemicals that help to dilate arteries, which helps blood flow. Antioxidant-rich blueberries are low in fat and contain no saturated fatty acids. They are a good source of fiber and vitamin C. No wonder studies have found that eating more blueberries can reduce the risk of heart attack.
3. Strawberry
Strawberry has a high vitamin content and is a heart-healthy berry. They are also a good source of folic acid, a nutrient believed to protect the heart (although this claim has not been confirmed by research). Like blueberries, they contain chemicals that can dilate arteries and prevent platelet aggregation.
4. Raspberry
These sweet berries are rich in heart-friendly fibers and can harvest 4g of fiber in just half a cup. It also supplements 25% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C and supplements manganese. Raspberries are low in fat and contain high levels of polyphenols, which helps reduce the risk of heart disease. Try adding these delicacies to your meal.
5. Brazilian purple berries
When it comes to antioxidant content, Brazilian fruits can beat blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries. These berries are a good source of fiber, but they are all too acid. Adding them to smoothies, oats, and yoghurt can all blend well. Will be more suitable for the elderly in the eating habits.
6. Cranberries
These small plums are very popular in the summer, but they can bring many benefits to health (especially to women), so it is best to eat them all year round. In addition to the benefits of the other berries mentioned above, cranberries can increase HDL (good cholesterol) and help prevent urinary tract infections, so it is a win-win fruit.
