The secret to a healthier heart may have been hiding in plain sight in the produce aisle, as new research shows that raspberries help with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and inflammation.
Healing Effects
The bioactive compounds in raspberries, including dietary fiber and polyphenols, play a crucial role in how the body metabolizes fats, while also providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.A 2024 meta-analysis shows that eating raspberries can significantly lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol), especially in people over 35 who are living with metabolic syndrome. Moreover, raspberries boost HDL (“good” cholesterol) and improve blood pressure. Together, these effects contribute to a healthier cardiovascular system.
