Blueberries

Blueberries are considered superstar fruit thanks to their unique powerful health benefits. Don’t ignore them, trust me they are important!

- Immune booster and protection against free radicals; rich in flavonoids, resveratrol, polyphenols, vit C and their anthocyanines inhibit cancer cells
- Heart health; reduce cholesterol and blood pressure
- Blood sugar regulation; low in glycemic index, provide blood sugar regulation to type 2 diabetes
- Cognitive Health/ Improve memory; protect nerve cells from damage
- Digestive health; they are not exactly considered prebiotics but when their polyphenols go to the colon, our microbes activate their prebiotic benefits

Bilberries, also known as European blueberries, are smaller in size but, thanks to their abundant anthocyanoside content, their benefits are significantly more powerful and provide further ones;
- Reduce inflammation, especially in the joints; collagen stabilising action
- Benefits the eyes; prevent glaucoma, cataract formation and macular degeneration; improve night vision

Bilberries are more difficult to obtain fresh, however they do come in powder form; both bilberries and blueberries can be frozen for 3-6 months.
