Organic blueberries! The powerhouse berry full of antioxidants and amazing health benefits.
They help alleviate inflammation, have been found to fight cancer, support your gut health, promote heart health and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. They are also low in calories and sugars, but high in fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese. The health benefits of blueberries are amazing and the list seems to be never-ending, which is why we wanted to share the top health benefits of the humble blueberry!
Helps Maintain Healthy Bones
Perfect for Your Skin Routine
You might have known that collagen is the main support system of the skin, but did you know that it relies on vitamin C to help prevent damage from substances we come into contact with in our day-to-day lives, such as the sun, pollution, and smoke. In fact, vitamin C may even help collagen smooth wrinkles! Who knew?!
Just one cup of blueberries provides us with 24% of our daily intake of vitamin C. Looks like we will be updating our skin routine.
Lowers Blood Pressure
Did you know that blueberries can help reduce blood pressure! Blueberries contain potassium and magnesium which studies have found reduce blood pressure levels in patients with hypertension.
Other studies have found that the flavonoids in blueberries known as anthocyanins which are the antioxidants that give blueberries their distinctive colour, help prevent plaque building up in the arteries promoting healthy blood pressure. It’s kind of like our internal vacuum cleaner!
Reduces the Risk of Diabetes
Helps Protect Against Heart Disease
Blueberries are full of amazing nutrients such as, fibre, potassium, folate, vitamin c, vitamin B6, and phytonutrients that have been found to help support a healthy heart.
In fact, a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of East Anglia found 3 servings a week of berries, specifically, blueberries can reduce the risk of heart attack in women by 32%. This study was conducted in the UK providing great insight into the health benefits of berries. We’d say it is a berry good study!
Great for Healthy Digestion, Weight Loss and Feeling Full
As a great source of dietary fibre, blueberries have been found to prevent constipation and maintain a healthy digestive tract. By incorporating an adequate amount of dietary fibre in your diet, studies have also found blueberries can improve weight loss and keep you more satisfied after a meal for longer.
