The researchers measured endothelial function by monitoring several key biomarkers, including flow-mediated dilation (FMD), cognitive function, arterial stiffness, blood pressure (BP), cerebral blood flow (CBF). They looked at the gut microbiome and these other hemodynamic parameters both at baseline and after 12 weeks of consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-blueberries-on-vascular-health\">Benefits of Blueberries on Vascular Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The group eating the blueberry powder had a statistically significant improvement in flow-mediated dilation and systolic blood pressure (with the latter decreasing by 3.59 mmHg). They also had faster reaction times and improved short-term memory compared to their cognitive tests at baseline. While no changes in cerebral blood flow or gut microbiota were found, the test participants had a much higher concentration of polyphenols in their system compared to the placebo group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-blueberries-improve-vascular-health\">How Blueberries Improve Vascular Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers concluded that regular consumption of polyphenols could help reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) and potentially improve memory and executive functioning in older adults at risk of cognitive decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blueberry-and-beet-vascular-boost-smoothie\">Blueberry and Beet Vascular Boost Smoothie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beets, which are high in nitric oxide, can also help improve vascular functioning. To brighten up the earthy flavor, add some nutrient-dense (but neutral-tasting) spinach, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and ginger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 cup blueberries<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\/2 cup roasted beets (if using canned, rinse first to remove excess sodium)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\/2 whole orange (juiced)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 cup unsweetened almond milk <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Handful of spinach <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\/2 teaspoon fresh ginger <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add all the liquids to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitamix.com\/us\/en_us\">Vitamix<\/a> or other high-speed food processor, then add the solid ingredients. If the mix is too thick, add water. If you like it a bit sweeter, add another teaspoon of Monkfruit sweetener, which won&#8217;t spike blood sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiex.com\/resources\/clinical-research-repository\/\">Sources<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An apple a day may keep the doctor away.
