Blueberries Are Considered A Superfood!

• Low in calories but high in fibre, Vitamin C and Vitamin K
• Blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity of all the popular fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids appear to be the berries’ antioxidant with the greatest impact.
• Several studies suggest that blueberries and blueberry juice reduce DNA damage, which is a leading driver of aging and cancer.
• The antioxidants in blueberries have been shown to reduce a predominant risk factor for heart disease by preventing oxidative damage to “bad” LDL cholesterol
