Do you want a healthier heart? Scientists eat 100 g of cranberries every day –

Scientists said today that eating 100g of cranberries a day could be the key to a healthier heart.

Research led by King’s College London followed 45 men for a month to see how the superfood affected blood pressure, heart rate and blood vessels.

They found that eating 100g — about one cup — of strawberries each day improved the width of blood vessels by 1.1 percent over the course of the month, compared to a control group.

But they didn’t cause any changes in heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol or sugar during the month.

The authors said the results show that cranberries can significantly improve heart health “even in people with a low cardiovascular risk.”

Previous studies have shown that cranberries can help clear urinary tract infections and may also help with more serious diseases like colon cancer.

Researchers studied 45 healthy British men aged 18 to 45 for one month.

Half of the group gave a bag of freeze-dried cranberry powder — the equivalent of 100 g of fresh berries — while the other half received a placebo powder.

The researchers measured flow-mediated dilation (FMD), which is the amount of arteries that could dilate due to increased blood flow, two hours after eating the powder and one month after consuming it daily.

Heart rate and blood pressure were also recorded.

They also analyzed blood plasma and urine samples to see how the fruit affected cholesterol and blood sugar.

The results showed that blueberry eaters saw an average increase in foot and mouth disease from 7.1% to 8.2% just two hours after eating the fruit.

Those who took the placebo found that it remained the same.

After one month of daily cranberries, the fed group saw their overall FMD levels increase by 1.1% relative to the original artery width.

Meanwhile, the placebo group saw no further changes.

Professor Christian Heiss, cardiovascular expert at the University of Surrey, said: “Our results provide solid evidence that cranberries can significantly affect vascular health even in people with low cardiovascular risk.

“This study also shows that specific metabolites found in the blood after cranberry consumption are associated with beneficial effects.”

Analysis of blood and urine samples showed that 13 chemicals in cranberries were associated with increased levels of foot and mouth disease.

They measured the metabolites produced when the body breaks down certain chemicals in food.

The authors said they “cautiously hypothesized” that these chemicals in cranberries cause improvement in arterial health.

But they said more research is needed to prove these links.

Dr. Ana Rodriguez-Mateos, nutritionist at KCL, said: “The increase in polyphenols and metabolites in the bloodstream and the improvements associated with flow-mediated expansion following cranberry consumption highlight the important role that cranberries can play in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

“The fact that these improvements in cardiovascular health have been observed with a reasonable amount of cranberries that can be consumed daily makes cranberries an important fruit for the general public in preventing cardiovascular disease.”
