I was brushing off the juices off the fridge's crisper that came from the blueberries my husband keep buying. I mean, I personally think it's an excessive amount for just one kind of berry. We had some in our pancakes yesterday btw. Hate that I can't eat them, the tangy taste is not my thing. And today, the more I realized why I should shove those kinds of fruits in my throat. Here are the enormous benefits blueberries give us: SOURCE
Skin reviver
Soften up with this scrub from The Cliff House Resort and Spa in Ogunquit, Maine: Combine 2 cups brown sugar, 2 teaspoons puréed blueberries, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Blueberry’s antioxidants soften skin, lemon juice brightens, and sugar exfoliates.Bladder aid
Blueberries, like cranberries, contain compounds that prevent bacteria from adhering to bladder walls, which helps ward off urinary-tract infections (UTI’s), according to a Rutgers University study. If you get UTI’s, toss a handful of blueberries into your a.m. smoothie.Cancer blocker
Blueberries’ anthocyanins—which give them their blue hue—attack cancer-causing free radicals and can even block the growth of tumor cells, a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign study found. Eating just a half-cup a day (like in a slice of pie!) is all you need.Brain food
To work smarter, pack dried-blueberry trail mix for a snack. A study from the University of Reading and the Peninsula Medical School in England suggests that blueberries reverse age-related memory loss, thanks to its abundance of antioxidants called flavonoids.
I better start liking blueberries now.
