Wild blueberry juice may help protect the heart and improve systolic blood pressure in adults at risk of type-2 diabetes, according to a study. The study, which was published in the journal BMC Nutrition, used a randomized, single-blind human intervention to determine the effects of wild blueberry juice when consumed.
The findings revealed that short-term consumption of wild blueberry juice might protect the heart by improving systolic blood pressure in adults at risk for type-2 diabetes.
