Wild Blueberry Health Facts

    USDA research shows that wild blueberries rank number 1 in antioxidant activity compared with 40 other fruits and vegetables. These antioxidants include anthocyanins, which are highly concentrated in the blue pigments of wild blueberries. This component serves to fight aging, cancer, and heart disease. 

    Initial studies indicate wild blueberries may protect against age-related deterioration of the brain such as short-term memory loss.

    Blueberries, like cranberries, also contain an element that helps treat and prevent urinary tract infections. Additional health benefits include reducing eyestrain and improving night vision.

 

With all these benefits, isn't it time to make wild blueberries a regular part of your diet?
