Boost Your Nutrition This Winter With Blueberries

NC – Everyone knows that “superfoods” are good for you. The combination of vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and phytochemicals, among other nutrients make them natural disease-fighters. But when it comes to great taste, not all superfoods are created equal.

Fortunately for blueberries, they’re not only great for you, but also great tasting. And, thanks to the growers and exporters of Chile, they’re available all winter long.

Blueberries not only pack enough nutritional goodness to help fend off diseases from common colds to Alzheimer’s, they’re also amazingly versatile and utterly delicious. Moreover, they’re naturally fat-free, high in vitamin C, rich in potassium and fiber, and contain more cancer-fighting antioxidants than either wine or green tea. Recent studies show that fresh blueberries are natural anti-inflammatories, too – they can help keep skin look younger, reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers, and provide the same bacteria fighters as cranberries to help guard against urinary tract infections. Just one-half cup of blueberries helps meet the recommended 5 to 9 servings a day of colorful fruits and veggies.
