Researchers have long proven the heart-health benefits of red wine but a study published on Jan 28 in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry shows drinking cranberry juice can lower blood pressure.
Roger Corder, author of the Red Wine Diet and professor at Queen mary University of London, indentified oligomeric procyanidins, which prevent blood vessel constriction that leads to heart disease, in cranberries.
“We’ve now indentified oligomeric procyanidins as the specific compound in cranberries that can boost the health of blood vessels, helping to prevent blood vessel constricition,” said Corder.
