How Wild Blueberries Promote Circulatory Health

Blueberries are particularly good for circulatory health in the eyes, brain and extremities. This has the positive effect of preventing disease and maintaining good health.

The antioxidants in wild blueberries strengthen and protect capillaries and larger blood vessels and can be beneficial in the treatment/avoidance of bruising, varicose veins, haemorrhoids and water retention.

These antioxidants, particularly anthocyanin, also have an anti-clotting effect, which combined with the blueberry's enhancement of blood vessel health and flexibility, may help reduce angina and heart attacks. Anthocyanin is also good for improving the elasticity of artery walls.

Better circulation can also help those suffering from arthritis by supplying more efficient blood flow to the connective tissues in painful joints.

Also in there helping are the phytonutrient lutein, and good old fibre, both of which aid in improving circulation.
