\nBlueberries On Top<\/big>:<\/strong> Tufts University analyzed over 60 types of fruits and vegetables, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Center studied over 40 different types of fruits and vegetables<\/strong>. In both studies, blueberries came out on top<\/strong>, easily the best source of antioxidants (antioxidants help to prevent cellular damage that can lead to cancer)<\/em>, rating highest in their capacity to destroy free radicals. (For the scientific minded, here’s a link to Understanding Free Radicals and Antioxidants<\/a>.)<\/em>
\nBlueberries help to cure diarrhea, prevent and relieve constipation, fight infection. <\/strong> They lower cholesterol and (like cranberries) blueberries inhibit urinary tract infections. Blueberries are loaded with Vitamin C, which helps to fight cataracts, and flavonoids, which aid in improved circulation. Their potassium levels maintain fluid balance and keep blood press at normal levels.
\nBlueberries may even reduce the effects of aging<\/strong> as they improve balance, coordination and short-term memory. (I’ll have a bucket, please.)<\/em>
\nHousehold Tip<\/strong>
\nWant to know how to remove blueberry stains? Soak the fabric for a long time in sour milk. Rinse and wash in warm water. Good luck!
