THE NUTRITIONAL
BENEFITS OF BLUEBERRIES
Are you ready to dig into a bowl of delicious
blueberries? Perhaps you’re
adding a handful to your morning
smoothie? Regularly eating blueberries is
not only tasty, it can be excellent for your
overall health.
While the term “superfood” has become
controversial because it is now seen as a
marketing ploy and there’s no standardized
list of criteria to designate a food as “super,”
blueberries have often been touted as especially
nutritious. That’s because blueberries
are not only low in calories, they’re full of
nutrients the body needs to thrive.
Healthline indicates blueberries are among
the most nutrient-dense berries. A cup contains
only 85 calories, and in that serving a
person can enjoy 3.6 grams of fiber, 16 percent
of the daily value (DV) of vitamin C;
24 percent of the DV of vitamin K; and 22
percent of the DV of manganese.
One of the main benefits of blueberries is
that they are rich in antioxidants. Produced
as a natural result of metabolism or exposure
to pollution, cigarette smoke and alcohol,
free radicals are molecules that damage
cells over time. Antioxidants create barriers
around cells to help protect them from damage
by free radicals.
The Cleveland Clinic says that the high soluble
fiber content of blueberries can make
them strong allies in the fight against cholesterol.
Soluble fiber binds to bile in the
gut. Bile is made of cholesterol and other
substances that need to be removed from the
body. Lowering cholesterol helps prevent or
reduce risk of heart disease.
In relation to heart health, blueberries also
may help reduce blood pressure, which can
be beneficial for the heart and brain. Healthline
reports that in an eight-week study, people
with obesity who had high risk of heart
disease noted a 4 to 6 percent reduction in
blood pressure after consuming two ounces
of freeze-dried blueberries per day. Additional
studies have uncovered similar blood
pressure-lowering abilities of blueberries.
Individuals concerned with keeping their
brains sharp may want to consider adding
blueberries to the mix of foods they eat regularly.
A study in The American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition uncovered cognitive function
improved when participants ate about
3/4 cup of blueberries per day. Since blueberries
lower blood pressure, more blood can
flow to the brain, which improves cognitive
function.
BBC Good Food says blueberries also are
low in sugar and high in fiber, which gives
them a low glycemic index. This means
blueberries can potentially control blood
sugar levels.
