5 Reasons to Eat More of the Blue!

Did you know July is National Blueberry Month? Besides their vibrant fresh flavor that reminds us of summer, blueberries have amazing antioxidant powers and health benefits!

Here’s 5 reasons to eat more blueberries:

•  Vitamin C. This vital, immune boosting substance is abundant in blueberries.
•  Antioxidants. Blueberries contain the the chemical anthocyanin, which has been proven to boost health in a wide variety of areas including  improving heart health and decreasing the chance of stroke.
• Reducing Cancer Risk. Several chemicals found in blueberries fight free radicals and have been proven to help fight cancer
• Lower blood pressure. Blueberries are high in levels of potassium, a mineral that helps lower this symptom.
•  Fiber. A cup of blueberries contains as much as two slices of whole wheat bread. Blueberries are a slow carb, meaning that the glucose in them is released slowly into the blood stream without a spike in blood sugar.

Blueberries are also low-calorie! Enjoy blueberries fresh while you can for maximum health benefits and freeze some to enjoy during the colder months.
