Health Benefits of Blueberries

A blueberry is a small but mighty superfood packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients.

Blueberries are a great source of daily vitamins including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B complex, zinc, sodium, potassium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, anthocyanin, selenium, and manganese. Because blueberries are so full of vitamins and antioxidants they are known to improve brain function and can even heal neurologic disorders by restoring the central nervous system and help prevent a decrease in neurons.

Eating blueberries can also help keep you looking and feeling young. They are one of the best things you can eat because of their antioxidants and the ability to fight free radicals. Blueberries can help prevent signs of aging including hair loss, fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, loss of eyesight and cataracts, and osteoporosis. Blueberries can even help prevent the onset of diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.

If that’s not enough, blueberries can also help keep your eyes strong, fight off cancer, help prevent heart disease, boost your immune system, help promote healthy digestion and help treat urinary tract infection. Blueberries can also act as natural antidepressants - helping to keep you focused, sharp, active, and in a good mood. No wonder they’re considered a superfood!

You can easily add blueberries into your diet daily by eating them as a snack by themselves, adding them to a smoothie, yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit bowl, or tossing them into a salad. Get creative!
