Who does not love tiny little round blueberries? At least I have never met anyone who has confessed not to.
These marvellous little versatile pricey purple balls are going cheap right now in our local Cole's supermarket. Grateful shoppers are buying many more than usual and I am one of them.
Shoppers have a choice of frozen or fresh blueberries. There are lots of options, like drinking them in smoothies, eating them by the handfuls, on top of breakfast cereals, baked in muffins or even enjoyed with scoops of ice-cream, etc. Dark chocolate coated blueberries are one of my occasional nighttime treats.
The blueberry is perfect in every way, size, shape, colour, taste and very healthy. This fruit is so full of good stuff that of course it is on the list of superfoods. There are many reasons why it would meet the definition of a natural medicine.
First, it has a high antioxidant ability to fight any radicals in the body that can cause inflammation. As is common knowledge, inflammation is well known to develop into life threatening diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cholesterol and heart disease etc.
Number two reason is the level of fibre in blueberries, so necessary for good healthy digestion and healthy bowels.
My favourite reason I attach to blueberries is their anti-aging tag, one that is particularly attractive for this mature silverblogger. It is a very heartening to know that the simple little blueberries has the power to keep our bodies a little more youthful, active and in shape as the years go by. I know it is a long shot but I personally find it a great motivator to keep eating blueberries every day.
My wish is that blueberries continue being sold at the current special price at Coles. It is a thrill to stack up the punnets in the fridge.
There are lots of articles that sprout the health benefits of blueberries. Here is one articles if you are interested.
