 British and American researchers
collaboration of a large-scale study showed that eating anthocyanin-rich blueberries help prevent high blood pressure and cause various diseases.

University of East Anglia researchers and their U.S. counterparts in the new issue of over 14 years of follow-up survey of health conditions. In the meantime, the volunteers reported once every two years, health status, reported once every 4 years diet. In the beginning of the project, all without high blood pressure symptoms, and 14 years, about 3.5 million people had high blood pressure symptoms appear.

researchers analyzed the status of the volunteers found that eating often eat the blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, anthocyanin intake and therefore a large number of people suffering from high blood pressure and less risk of people eating blueberries lower than 10%.

participated in the study of East Anglia University Aiding Cassidy said the study confirmed the efficacy of anthocyanins have lower blood pressure. Anthocyanins are flavonoids, tea, fruit juice, red wine, dark chocolate and other foods also contain these substances. Had already known flavonoids with lowering blood pressure effect, but this study shows that although people can intake from different sources of flavonoids, but still rich in anthocyanins in blueberries most significant blood pressure lowering effect, the same rich blood pressure lowering effect of strawberry anthocyanins are also good.

Cassidy said, then researchers will also conduct a more precise quantitative studies to determine the best diet intake of anthocyanin is.
