Blueberries are preferred by many not just because of the fantastic taste but also because it has amazing benefits for the body. This is one of the top choices when it comes to healthy foods. In fact, it s even labeled as โ€œsuperfruitโ€ since every ounce of it can deliver massive amount of vitamins and mineral.

Are you familiar with the health benefits of blueberries? If not, then you might want to read on and discover how this could contribute in making sure that you are in tip-top shape.

Natural Way to Fight Aging

Instead of putting layers of cream on your face every night and regularly applying all sorts of chemicals which can burn your epidermis in the long run, isnโ€™t it easier to just eat enough blueberries everyday? This superfruit does spectacular things for the skin because of its component called Anthocyanin. This same element is the reason why it has a dark blue color. But donโ€™t worry, it is not going to turn your skin blue. Instead, it will prevent cell damage so you would not have to worry about dry skin, wrinkles and fine lines anytime soon.

Amazing Source of Antioxidants

So much has been said about the amount of antioxidants in blueberries. It is impressive how many types of antioxidants are present in blueberries like B complex, copper, selenium, zinc, iron and a whole lot more. This does not only strengthen the immune system against common ailments but also prevents infections.

B-coli is the culprit which causes both men and women to suffer from the pain and discomfort of urinary tract infection. This grows within the inner lining of the urinary tract and leads to inflammation and the burning sensation when urinating. One of the health benefits of blueberries is that it prevents b-coli from continuously multiplying. Because blueberries also have anti-bacterial capabilities, this can also eliminate the existing bacteria and flush them out.

Boosts Memory

The main reason why people tend to be forgetful as they age or even develop Alzheimerโ€™s disease is because neurons become damage and brain cells deteriorate. If you want to remember all the names of your great grand children and still tell them stories about your younger years, your might want to preserve the sharpness of your brain by eating blueberries. There are too many components in blueberries which help in maintaining mental health such as magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, potassium and most importantly, Vitamin B complex.

Resolves Constipation

The high amount of fiber in blueberries is the main reason why this is great for digestion. This will improve the ability of your digestive system to break down food so that nutrients are absorbed much better. Aside from that, it also expels toxins, even those which have accumulated in the past. For people who are often bothered by constipation, eating at least a handful of this everyday will regulate bowel movement.

If you are planning to snack on blueberries, make sure you are picking the freshest ones. It should have a deep blue color with whitish hue. Aside from that, the berries should be firm and not watery.
