We All Have the Potential to Look Berry Nice                                                Obesity has become an extremely large problem in the US. For the most part it seems that the citizens of this country have made the terms “emotional eating” and “laziness” synonymous. Alongside with this widespread trend of over-eating, come the harmful side effects of heart attack, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Luckily, just like our iPhones love to tell you, "there’s an herb for that." It’s called the hawthorn berry and it’s in ZealO2 and HappyGirl to help make sure that your “emotional eating” doesn’t catch up with you.
Your heart is just "tryin’ to function" and your overly stressful habits of eating junk food and lack of exercise really interrupt the way your body performs. Hawthorn berry has amazing antioxidant properties, which is why it so beneficial for your heart. In the early 2000’s a six-trail study was performed on patients that had congestive heart failure. Four of the six trials significantly improved patients' heart function and three of the six trials found that the herb actually helped improve exercise ability.          
Having a heart that’s half-hardened by plaque can dramatically increase your blood pressure. You know what else can raise your blood pressure? Stress.
