Another great resource for you is Dr. Weil. I am sure many of you have heard of him. He provides many lots of informative and beneficial facts about health and nutrition. I found this information on his site about eating blueberries. He listsed the following reasons to make blueberries part of your diet.
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 healthy 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.
So if you don't eat blueberries, all I can say is that you need to start immediately. They are one of the healthiest foods that you can consume in your diet.
