Heart attack: The mouth-watering hot drink which could reduce risk of the deadly condition
Tracy Parker, British Heart Foundation dietitian, said: “Flavanols have been shown to have a benefit to the heart.
“However, fruit and vegetables, such as dark green vegetables, berries and beetroot are also a source of these compounds.
“In addition to this, fruit and vegetables provide us with a range of other vitamins, minerals and fibre and should form a core part of a balanced, healthy diet.
“This is consistent with our whole diet approach to healthy eating which emphasises the importance of balance and consumption of a range of foods rather than individual nutrients or ingredients.”
