Oatmeal reduces the risk of developing heart disease and several types of cancers.
Studies have shown that blueberry anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, flavonols, and tannins inhibit mechanisms of cancer cell development and inflammation in vitro. Just like red grapes, blueberry skin contains significant levels of resveratrol, a phytochemical which not only boosts health, it also helps weight loss and slows down aging.
Blueberry consumption also helps lower cholesterol and total blood lipid levels, possibly minimizing symptoms of heart disease and high blood pressure.
