The amazing Blueberry! These amazing little fruits called blueberries are one of the most potent sources of antioxidants. One of the gems that nature has so bountifully provided to keep our bodies healthy. We already know the benefits of antioxidants in our body and its ability to rid us of those pesky free radicals that threathen our health. As an antioxidant powerhouse, this little fruit continues to make headlines around the world.
Recent studies show that eating at least one serving of blueberries weekly could reduce your risk of high blood pressure of hypertension by 10%. This is truly an amazing finding! This finding as recorced in the Heart Health section on msnbc.com is as a result of 14 years of research.
Especially in wild species, Blueberries contain compounds known as anthocyanins, which are a type of flavonoid which can be found in dark chocolate, tea and red wine. The antioxidants in Blueberries are also linked to having a role in the reduction of some disease including inflamation and some cancers.

Life as we know it has become so hectic that we neglect to feed our bodies the type of food that will keep our bodies performing at its best. We are only as healthy as what we put into our bodies and we have to decided that we will make the changes necessary to restore our bodies to perfect health.
