Blueberries are a nutrition powerhouse, a superfood loaded with phytonutrients and a fruit that has benefits unlike any other.
With their powerful antioxidant protection, according to the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, laboratory studies show a diet including blueberries may improve motor skills and reverse the short-term memory loss that comes with aging or age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Researchers have also identified a compound in blueberries that helps to reduce the risk of infection.
