New research suggests that simply following current dietary guidelines for fruit and vegetable intake may not provide enough flavanols—plant compounds linked to cardiovascular health—to reduce the risk of heart disease. Despite recommendations to eat five servings daily, fewer than 25% of people meet the flavanol levels associated with cardiovascular benefits, which is around 500 milligrams per day. The study emphasizes that specific fruit and vegetable choices, such as blueberries, plums, blackberries, and green tea, are more effective sources of flavanols, highlighting the importance of selective consumption for heart health.
