Blueberries are a Good Choice for a Healthy Food

Blueberries as a Solid Choice for a Healthy Food

In the book, 100 Best Health Foods, there are several benefits given to eating blueberries. “They are the richest of all fruits in antioxidant compounds, which protect us from cancers and several other diseases.”, it is said. I recently bought some from Walmart and they were delicious. I like mine plain with a little milk and Stevia as a sweetener. But I’ll spell out some of their health benefits for you.

Health Benefits of Blueberries

According to Google’s AI search tool, the ORAC scale was a valuable tool for food science. But its practical health application in humans remains debated, with modern nutritional advice favoring balanced diets over ORAC values. With that being said, we can still count our blessings with foods that are rich in certain qualities, while maintaining balanced diets. Blueberries offer a valuable food source to a healthy intake of antioxidants. 

Blueberries offer a cholesterol lowering compound called Pterostilbene. It is said they may also help prevent diabetes (something I’m interested in). Blueberries are also a good source of anthocyanins, which can help prevent heart disease and memory loss. There are other benefits to them as well. You can purchase 100 Best Health Foods on Amazon to find out more about blueberries and other healthy foods. 

Have you made Blueberries a Solid Participant to Your Healthy Diet?

I’m going to try to get at least three days of healthy blueberry intake into my diet. I like a variety of foods so I won’t have a problem of incorporating their intake with other healthy foods. How about you? What might you want to do to ensure you’re getting a healthy diet? If you too are looking to add blueberries to your diet,  be sure to try to purchase organically grown ones because blueberries have made the “dirty dozen” list of foods that are exposed to high levels of pesticides.
