New review finds wild blueberries support heart and gut health
Sarah A. Johnson et al.
Wild blueberry intake improved endothelial function within hours or over weeks in healthy adults, supported cognitive performance like memory and thinking speed in older adults, increased beneficial Bifidobacterium after 6 weeks, and showed encouraging effects on blood pressure, lipids, and blood sugar.
A single portion of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L) improves protection against DNA damage but not vascular function in healthy male volunteers.
