Benefits of eating blueberries

Blueberries are rich in nutrients and are known as the "king of berries". Now let's take a closer look at the benefits of eating blueberries.

The antioxidants in blueberries can enhance memory, prevent brain nerve aging, and reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's disease.

Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, which are the most powerful antioxidants currently available. They can reduce the level of oxidative stress in the human body, remove free radicals, prevent premature wrinkles on the skin, lighten spots, and have an anti-aging effect. At the same time, blueberries also contain superoxide dismutase, which is also a free radical scavenger and has an anti-aging effect. Anthocyanins can activate retinal function, promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, relieve visual fatigue, enhance vision, and prevent myopia. For those who use computers for a long time, eating an appropriate amount of blueberries regularly can increase the ability of the eyes to adapt to dark environments and delay the occurrence of visual fatigue.

Blueberries are rich in protein, vitamins, dietary fiber, flavonoids, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and other nutrients. Regular consumption of blueberries can improve the body's immunity.

Blueberries are rich in pectin, about three times that of apples. They can promote intestinal motility, regulate intestinal microflora, and help prevent constipation.
