Purple Helps Blood Pressure

Eat These 6 Purple Foods to Help Your Blood Pressure: 

Research shows that people who eat blue and purple fruits and vegetables—

blueberries, plums, purple cabbage, black currants, eggplant and purple grapes—have a reduced risk for high blood pressure and low HDL cholesterol
