Berry Power for Your Heart

If Big Pharma ever had a drug that could boost HDL cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and keep blood cells (platelets) from sticking together it would be the biggest blockbuster on the market today. Well, much to the chagrin of Big Pharma Mother Nature has provided several of these and a new study1 shows that blueberries can be added to the list. Grape seed extracts are already on the list and many other natural and safe options support cardiovascular health in a dramatic way.

Another recent study2 has shown that blueberry extracts are even better than eating whole blueberries in terms of supporting weight loss.
