Dairy-Free Ice Cream

Enjoy refreshing dairy-free ice cream topped with heart healthy blueberries. Antioxidant-rich blueberries help make this a heart-healthy dessert. Also, some studies have shown that consuming blueberries daily may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 15 percent.

Blueberries have many health benefits for the body, including the heart. The antioxidant-rich blueberries are high in vitamin C, flavonoids, along with heart healthy fiber. The vitamin C in blueberries helps support the immune system, along with flavonoids helping to reduce inflammation. Studies have shown that prolonged inflammation may contribute to many diseases including heart disease.

Studies have also shown that eating blueberries frequently, even every day, may help with weight-loss. The weight-loss is contributed to the high fiber content in the blueberries. Maintaining a healthy weight may help alleviate and even deter heart problems. The high soluble fiber in blueberries may also attribute to lowering cholesterol.

Dairy-free, egg-free, blueberry ice cream

A recent Harvard study showed that eating one cup of blueberries per day may help lower blood pressure. This may be due to the high levels of anthocyanins in the blueberries. The anthocyanins helped improve the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels which helps blood flow and also blood pressure.
