9. Pair your healthy meals with balsamic vinegar
“Balsamic vinegar contains powerful flavonoids called anthocyanins (the same type found in blueberries), which can help reduce the risk of hypertension and heart disease,” Bellatti explains. “These compounds protect arteries from damage caused by damaging free radicals.”
Also, you don’t have to limit your balsamic vinegar intake to only salads, try adding a drizzle of balsamic over whole grain side dishes, roasted vegetables, or even fruit salad for a stronger flavor.
