5 Insane Benefits of Eating Blueberries:
1. Cardiovascular Health:
Higher intakes of blueberries, strawberries, and total (anthocyanins) are all associated with a 32% lower rate of myocardial infarction.
Higher anthocyanin intake is associated with an ~8–10% reduction in hypertension risk.
2. Prediabetes and Type II
Of all the fruits, blueberries provided the strongest association, with a Type 2 Diabetes risk reduction of 26%.
Greater blueberry and anthocyanin intake is associated with less weight gain during aging and with improvements in insulin resistance.
3. Neuroprotective
In cohort studies examining almost 150,000 people, lower Parkinson's disease risk was associated with the highest quintile of anthocyanin.
In a prospective analysis, a greater intake of blueberries was associated with slower rates of cognitive decline.
4. Vision
There is an association between blueberry intake and a reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration.
In one study of glaucoma, visual field defects stabilized, ocular blood flow improved, and plasma endothelin normalized after 6 mo of daily intake of anthocyanin.
5. Anti-Inflammatory
Dietary anthocyanins ameliorate inflammation and obesity as well as obesity-associated chronic diseases.
Blueberry with plentiful anthocyanins can increase anti-inflammatory cytokines and reduces oxidative stress in acute ingestion.
