Health Benefits of Blueberries You May Never Know
King of antioxidant foods
Antioxidants protect your body from free radicals, which are unstable molecules. These molecules can damage cells in the body and cause aging and diseases, such as cancer.
Blueberries are said to have the highest antioxidant content of all fruits and vegetables. The main antioxidant compounds in blueberries belong to a family of polyphenol antioxidants known as flavonoids. Specifically anthocyanins – which are abundant in blueberries, thus boosting antioxidant levels in the body.
Low Calories, High Nutrients
Blueberries are one of the most nutrient-dense fruits. A 148-gram cup of blueberries contains:
- Fiber: 4 grams
- Vitamin C: 24% of the recommended daily dose (RDI)
- Vitamin K: 36% of the RDI
- Manganese: 25% RDI
- Small amounts of other nutrients
They are also about 85% water. One cup of blueberries contains just 84 calories, with 15 grams of carbohydrates. The low calorie content makes blueberries an excellent source, providing a number of important nutrients. In addition, blueberries are a great fruit to include in your weight loss menu!
Great anti-aging and cancer
Oxidative DNA damage is an inevitable natural process in everyday life. It is thought to happen tens of thousands of times per day in every cell in your body. Oxidative DNA damage is part of the reason we age and develop diseases like cancer.
Because blueberries are high in antioxidants, they can neutralize some of the free radicals that damage your DNA. In a study of 168 people who drank 1 liter of blueberry and apple juice per day. After four weeks, DNA oxidative damage caused by free radicals was reduced by 20%. These findings are consistent with smaller studies that used fresh or powdered blueberries.
May reduce muscle damage after strenuous exercise
Strenuous exercise can lead to muscle soreness and fatigue, due to local inflammation and oxidative stress in your muscle tissue. Supplementing with blueberries can reduce damage that occurs at the molecular level, minimizing soreness and reducing muscle performance. In a small study in 10 female athletes, blueberries accelerated muscle recovery after strenuous leg exercises.
Protects from damage to cholesterol in the blood
Oxidative damage is frequent and not limited to your cells and DNA. Similarly, they can also damage bad cholesterol (LDL). In fact, the oxidation of bad LDL cholesterol is a leading cause of heart disease.
The antioxidants in blueberries are very effective in reducing the oxidation level of LDL. This makes blueberries very good for your heart.
A daily 50-gram serving of blueberries reduced LDL oxidation by 27% over eight weeks in obese subjects. Another study determined that eating 75 grams of blueberries with a main meal significantly reduced the oxidation of “bad” LDL cholesterol.
