Daily Blueberry Consumption Improves Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness in Postmenopausal Women with Pre- and Stage 1-Hypertension: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial

Authors: Sarah A. Johnson, PhD, RD, CSO; Arturo Figueroa, MD, PhD, FACSM; Negin Navaei, BS; Alexei Wong, MS; Roy Kalfon, BS; Lauren T. Ormsbee, MS; Rafaela G. Feresin, MS; Marcus L. Elam, MS; Shirin Hooshmand, PhD; Mark E. Payton, PhD; and Bahram H. Arjmandi, PhD, RD.

Interview: Dr. Arjmandi and Dr. Johnson discuss the results of a new study that found that daily consumption of blueberries for eight weeks resulted in significant reductions of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Considering the prevalence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, preventive strategies such as dietary modifications (e.g. functional foods and dietary supplements) that aim to improve hypertension and its related complications are warranted.
