Boost Heart Health by Choosing Flavanol-Rich Foods Over Quantity

New research shows that flavanols—compounds in foods like plums, cranberries, blackberries, apples with skin, broad beans, cherries, and green tea—are strongly linked to heart health, and most people don’t get enough. Merely meeting five daily servings of fruits and vegetables often falls short of the flavanol target; about 500 mg per day is associated with lower cardiovascular death risk. The findings suggest dietary guidance should emphasize flavanol-rich foods and combinations (e.g., green tea with meals) to boost absorption.
