GREGORY CHANDLER ON HARVARD HYPERTENSION STUDY

More than 50% of individuals over the age of 40 are at risk for hypertension. Blueberries and strawberries may help prevent hypertension.

In a recent Harvard University study, people who consumed the most anthocyanins had a 12% lower risk of developing hypertension than those who consumed the least amount of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are found in high amounts in blueberries and strawberries.

Gregory Chandler - Beet Root Juice

A new study suggests that beet root juice can improve athletic performance. Researchers had cyclists take part in two separate 4K time trials. Before one 4K time trial the cyclists consumed beet juice. The other time trials were without beet juice consumption.

The results were that the cyclists completed the trials an average of 48 seconds, or 2.7% faster, after drinking beet juice.

The study concludes that the beet juice provides nitrates that boost athletic performance.
