Blueberry benefits !

Blueberries are not only beautiful to look at, they are also very effective for our health. I will list some of the benefits;

1 - Eating Blueberries the belly fat can be decreased with its 80 delicious calories per cup. And it lower the risk of cardiovascular problems. It lowers cholesterol. If they are in a combination with a low-fat diet they will be more powerful. 

2 - Blueberries are helping an enlarged liver to balance itself. The liver is our most important cleansing organ and we need to be kind to it..... An overworked liver can lead to diabetes.

3 - Blueberries are very high in antioxidants and has the highest value of all fruits. 

Vitamin C -  needed for the formation of collagen and to maintain healthy gums and capillaries. Vitamin A,  Selenium , Iron and Zink are some of the important  ingredients in a tiny berry.

The combination is helping to boost the immune system.  I guess, we are all in need of that. There is many ways to get the berries in the winter, in a concentrated natural Juice. Organic is recommendable and check that it does not have  a high % of added water. Or dehydrated and pressed into a small pill. They are also available frozen. Personally i am not fond of frozen food and do not recommend it. 

4- Last but not least...it is also has anti aging properties.

Fresh Blueberries are fantastic on the cereal in the morning. Or added in a healthy smoothy. Personally I love to have fresh blueberries in a light tart for the afternoon tea.

When I was a child in Sweden I would collect them directly in the woods in our summer home and eat them with fresh milk. It was wonderfully tasty.

Have a nice day !
