Women who ate at least three servings of blueberries and strawberries per week had fewer heart attacks. The diet reduces the risk by as much as one-third . Blueberries and strawberries contain high levels of heart-protecting compounds called dietary flavonoids, which are also found in grapes , blackberries, eggplant among others. A specific sub-class of flavonioids , called anthocyanins, dilate arteries and counter the build-up of plaque that impede blood.
