Superfood to be Super Fit?


Every wonder how superman is super strong? I bet he ate his blueberries. Yes I said it blueberries. A nutritious superfruit that has been around for ages. Did you know that blueberries can help the body dissolve fat cells and allow the body to fight off any other fats that are ingested into the body? I bet you're saying I'm going out to get a pound of blueberries right now, but waiiiiiit......there's more. Polyphenols which is a chemical found in blueberries can prevent type 2 diabetes. So not only do you lose weight, but can prevent one of the worlds most deadliest diseases. I think killing two birds with one stone is the appropriate saying for fact.





In terms of U.S. fruit consumption, blueberries rank only second to strawberries in popularity of berries. Blueberries are not only popular, but also repeatedly ranked in the U.S. diet as having one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings. Antioxidants are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals that can damage cellular structures as well as DNA. We recommend enjoying raw blueberries — rather than relying upon blueberries incorporated into baked desserts — because, like other fruits, raw blueberries provide you with the best flavor and the greatest nutritional benefits.
