We know them in breads, pastries, cereal, desserts, and salads. There’s no denying that blueberries add a sweet and delicious component to almost anything you eat. Did you know that, besides being delicious, blueberries are a powerhouse of antioxidant wealth? By just adding some blueberries to your diet you can help your body prevent pre-mature aging, because the antioxidants help neutralize free-radicals that cause cell damage; help prevent brain age and diseases, like Alzheimer’s, as well as reverse short-term memory loss and improve your motor skills.
Whoa! And if that wasn’t enough, blueberries are also an excellent source of Vitamin K, which helps prevent vision loss, and they also contain proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, flavonols, and tannins which are antioxidants that help fight against cancer cells, such as colon and ovarian cancers.
Here’s a little tip for you! If you’re starting to slow-down even before your day has begun, eat at least a cup of blueberries to wake you up and keep you from that afternoon slump!
