Blueberries are delicious and packed full of health benefits. Pound per pound they are the most nutrient dense fruit on the market as they reduce inflammation, curb sugar cravings and are loaded with antioxidants. 

Antioxidant Properties

Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants, which are compounds that protect the body against free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to aging and diseases such as cancer. Blueberries contain a type of antioxidant called anthocyanins, which gives them their blue color. These antioxidants have been found to reduce inflammation, which is linked to several chronic diseases.

Heart Health

Eating blueberries can also be beneficial for heart health. Blueberries contain compounds called flavonoids, which have been shown to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow. Additionally, the antioxidants in blueberries can help prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which is a risk factor for heart disease.

Brain Function

Blueberries have been found to improve brain function, particularly in older adults. The antioxidants in blueberries can help protect the brain from oxidative stress, which can lead to age-related cognitive decline. Several studies have found that consuming blueberries can improve memory and delay age-related decline in brain function.
