The Health Benefits of Blueberry

Fruits are not only delicious but healthful too. Blueberry is a fruit that belong to the Vaccinium family. Blueberries grow in clusters and range in size from that of a small pea to a marble.

 

They are deep in colour, ranging from blue to maroon to purple-black, and feature a white-gray waxy “bloom” that covers the surface serving as a protective coat. They have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity.

 

Rich in vitamins A and C, plus folate and other essential nutrients, they may help prevent heart disease and stroke, control blood pressure and cholesterol, prevent some types of cancer and guard against vision loss.

 

They are a rich source of phytonutrients, and they contain a significant amount of the antioxidant anthocyanadins that possess great nutritional value.

 

Blueberries are natural brain food and can help in reversing short-term memory loss and other symptoms associated with aging. The antioxidants help with motor skills.

 

Along with anthocyanins, blueberries also contain other antioxidants like proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, flavonoids and tannins that help prevent growth of cancer cells.
