Flavanols in cocoa may also increase neuron production and improve blood supply to the brain. This helps prevent alzhimer’s disease.
Strawberries:
Strawberries increase the body’s HDL (good) cholesterol levels. They are sodium-free, which can help in hyperstension by lowering your blood pressure. They contain anti-oxidants known as polyphenols.
