3 fall fruits you should eat for heart health

Seasonal fall produce can promote a heart-healthy diet.

Many of these fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that support cardiovascular health, lowering cholesterol and reducing plaque in the arteries.

1. Apples

Apples are full of fiber and polyphenols, compounds in some fruits and vegetables known to support heart health. A 2020 study found that eating two apples a day may help reduce the risk of heart disease for people with high blood cholesterol levels.

Eating raw apples is one way to enjoy this seasonal fruit, but you can also try baked apples with a little cinnamon and nutmeg.

2. Pomegranate

A 2020 study found that pomegranate juice may lower blood pressure, but the study was conducted in people with advanced kidney disease, so more research is needed to determine whether the same benefits apply to a broader population.

Like apples, pomegranates are rich in heart-healthy polyphenols, which give the fruit its rich color.

3. Blueberries

Blueberries contain the antioxidant proanthocyanidin, which may help lower blood pressure and improve heart health. A small study published in 2022 found that whole bilberry content improved vascular function, which is a sign of improved heart health. /CNA
