I love Blueberries. These little sweet tangy berries are full of deliciousness and nutrients. Blueberries are perennial flowering plants with indigo-colored berries. Blueberries are sold fresh or are processed as individually quick frozen (IQF) fruit, purée, juice, or dried or infused berries. These may then be used in a variety of consumer goods, such as jellies, jams, blueberry pies, muffins, snack foods, or as an additive to breakfast cereals. Blueberry jam is made from blueberries, sugar, water, and fruit pectin. Blueberry sauce is a sweet sauce prepared using blueberries as a primary ingredient. Blueberry wine is made from the flesh and skin of the berry, which is fermented and then matured; usually the lowbush variety is used. Blueberries are one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world and contain large levels and a broad range of antioxidants. Blueberries are especially rich in proanthocyanidins, which have been observed to have additional anti-aging properties.
Because they contain such a high amount of phenols, particularly gallic acid, blueberries are known as “neuro-protective agents.”, this means that they can literally protect our brains from degeneration, neurotoxicity and oxidative stress.Blueberries support digestion. Being a natural source of soluble and insoluble fiber, blueberries can help regulate your gastrointestinal track by just eating a couple handfuls a day. Blueberry health benefits have also been shown to lower LDL cholesterol naturally, raise HDL cholesterol and lower blood pressure naturally. blueberries contain resveratrol, which is proven to reduce damage from over-sun exposure and can naturally darken your skin.
Along with blueberry skin benefits, they have also been shown to naturally treat mascular degeneration and improve vision. Blueberries aid weight loss. Being low in calories, low on the glycemic index and high in fiber, everyone has at three reasons to eat blueberries to lose weight! Source
