blueberries
1.Provide antioxidants. Anthocyanins, the pigments that make blueberries blue, are potent antioxidants: A half cup of blueberries provides the antioxidant power of five servings of peas, carrots, apples, squash or broccoli.
2.Are a healthy, low glycemic-index carbohydrate, an especially good choice for diabetics.
3.Are a source of vitamin C, important for a supporting your immune system.
4.Help meet your need for daily fiber - two grams per one-half cup serving.
5.Have shown promise in addressing the effects of aging: animal studies have demonstrated improved motor skills and a reversal of age-related short-term memory loss associated with consuming blueberries.
6.May have other health benefits ranging from preventing cancer and defending against urinary tract infections to protecting the brain from stroke damage and reducing heart disease risks.
