Blueberries are an anti-aging superfood. A 2012 study found that their total antioxidant capacity was higher than that of blackberries or strawberries. Their total flavonoid content was higher, too, with the most proanthocyanidins and anthocyanidins—particular phytochemicals known to help fight off free radicals.

An earlier study in 1998 had already discovered the power of bluberries, noting they were one of the richest sources of antioxidant phytonutrients in the fresh fruits and vegetables studied.

Health Benefits:

The only berry we consume more often is the strawberry. Since we found out about the antioxidant punch blueberries give us, we’ve used them even more often for their health benefits as well as their taste.

Recent studies have indicated that blueberries have enormous potential to help us reduce our risk of disease. Some of the highlights include:

• Memory: A study of older adults found that 12 weeks of daily blueberry consumption helped improve scores on two different tests of cognitive function, including memory.
• Blood sugar: Blueberries are low in terms of their glycemic index (GI), which means they help control blood sugar levels. Participants in a study of blueberries and type 2 diabetes found that those who consumed at least three servings of low-GI fruits a day (including blueberries) saw significant improvement in their regulation of blood sugar.
• Heart: Several studies have shown that consuming about 1-2 cups of blueberries a day (or juice) helped reduce total cholesterol, raise HDL “good” cholesterol, and lower triglycerides.
• Eyes: In preliminary studies, the anthocyanins in blueberries protected the retina in the eye from free radical damage and from UV-ray damage.
