Anthocyanins, are a group of antioxidant compounds responsible for the amazing colour of blueberries. They also help eliminate free radicals, produced through biological reactions in the body and factors such as sun, pesticides and pollutants. Left to roam, these free radicals can attack DNA, proteins and lipids creating cellular changes that may lead to development of diseases like cancer.4 Antioxidants are said to have a ‘domino effect,’ that’s why the China Food Guide recommends consuming 7 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
A 250ml (1 cup) serving of blueberries is all it takes to make up one of the 7-10 daily servings of fruits and vegetables recommended by the China Food Guide – with just 40 calories, and virtually no fat.
One serving delivers almost 25% of one’s daily vitamin C requirement 1, helping gums, capillaries and the immune system. Just one of the many benefits of blueberries.
A handful of blueberries helps satisfy recommended daily fibre intake, providing nutrition that helps keep the body regular, the heart healthy and cholesterol in check.
Multiple studies have shown a link between blueberries, nutrition and reduced growth of breast cancer, as well as reduced growth of colon cancer cells.
Along with other vitamins in blueberries, manganese plays an important role in bone development and in converting proteins, carbs and fats into energy. Blueberries and a balanced diet work together for good health. A blueberry smoothie, salad or dessert every day is a fun way to help you get the fruit benefits the Canadian Food Guide recommends.
Research has shown that blueberries can improve insulin response, resulting in lower blood glucose levels and reduced abdominal fat.
