5. Berries
Just like pumpkin seeds, these tiny fruits surprise us with a wide range of health benefits. However, the first worth-mentioning regarding this article is, of course, lowering blood pressure.
Because they have plenty of antioxidants, such as the one that gives them their unique color (anthocyanin), berries can reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Anthocyanins, for example, have been shown to maximize nitric oxide levels in the blood of all participants while minimizing the production of blood-vessel-restricting molecules. A reduction in that production translates to reduced blood pressure levels.
All berries are great. From raspberries and strawberries to blueberries and cloudberries, try to consume them as often as you can.
Other impressive benefits of berries:
- improving insulin response
- fighting inflammation
- lowering cholesterol levels
- reducing appetite
- preventing anxiety and depression
- aiding weight loss
Just add them to your fresh smoothies, or sprinkle them over your favorite Greek yogurt!
