Blueberries are absolutely capable of multitasking and a „must“ or „want“ in the period from June to October, when they are in season.
And that’s in it:
- many vitamins and minerals (vitamin C, E and B6, folic acid, carotene, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium and calcium)
- Anthocyanin (a secondary plant substance), that intercepts and neutralizes free radicals, which protects blood vessels and slows blood clotting
- special tanning agents that promote digestion
And thus blueberries are:
- great for the skin, even counteract wrinkles
- best for the immune system
- supporting in wound healing
- antioxidant through the vitamins and secondary plant substances, and thus reduce stress for the whole body
- great supporters of gut health
- good against atherosclerosis
- a great protection for the cardiovascular system and cancer
- great for eye health
