When we were little, blueberries were an inseparable part of summer.

At camps, they made blueberry dumplings, grandmothers baked delicious blueberry pies, mothers made mashed blueberries with sugar and cream, and kids picked blueberries in the forest to eat them right away. But did you know that blueberries not only taste great but are also incredibly healthy? It's mainly the wild, forest blueberries that leave your mouth beautifully blue and are hard to wash out of clothes.

Blueberries contain a lot of health-promoting substances. They support brain activity, have a beneficial effect on digestion, improve cardiovascular functions, and also memory, and lower blood pressure. They prevent premature aging of the body, help with urinary tract inflammation, and combat diabetes. If you exercise, blueberries will help you burn fat and aid in muscle recovery.

Let's take a closer look at this.

The skin of blueberries contains anthocyanins, which give it a beautifully dark blue color (blue is good!), but what's important for us is that they are anti-inflammatory. According to research (source: wildblueberries.com), wild blueberries contain 33% more of this substance than garden blueberries. Anthocyanins also support a healthy body and brain functions.

Antioxidants help the body break down free radicals, which can be the cause of various lifestyle diseases, tumors, cataracts... Forest fruits are full of antioxidants, and you won't guess which one has the most. Yes, it's blueberries (again, we're talking about wild blueberries from Nova Scotia, which contain twice as many antioxidants as garden blueberries) /source: wildblueberries.com, and they actually have the highest amount of all commonly consumed fruits and vegetables.

Blueberries not only taste great, but they also help a lot. Make sure to enjoy at least a few of them daily, whether fresh, frozen, or dried.
