5 reasons to eat more blueberries

5 reasons to eat more blueberries













1) Blueberries have little sugar and a lower glycaemic index value compared to many other fruits, making them a healthy option.

2) They are an excellent source of disease-fighting polyphenols and vitamins C and K, along with manganese.

3) Their purported health benefits range from helping to protect against heart disease and some cancers, as well as working to help improve your memory.

4) Blueberries are a good addition to your diet, but a mixture with other berries (straw berry, raspberry, goji) is even better.

5) A study showed a one-third reduction in the risk of heart disease among women who ate a mixed bowl of blueberries and strawberries three times a week.
