BERRY GOOD: 'WASH-AND-READY' FRUIT IS TASTY -- AND HEALTHFUL

Blueberries may be nature's best-tasting medicine. Researchers say they contain potent compounds that may help prevent certain cancers, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, fight urinary tract infections, reduce arthritis, help with vision and short-term memory, and ward off Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Health and Blueberries

I absolutely loved fresh blueberries growing up. I haven't eaten them in years but have had them from a can in a pie. I don't think that is quite the same as fresh but I suppose its a start. I also have high blood pressure. I think after reading this article, I may start eating them fresh again for that purpose alone! But in the closer future, my mother makes this great flag cake with blueberries and strawberries that I love. Didn't ever realize something that good could be so good for you!

On FNC they are saying that eating lots of blueberries causes you to lose weight. Big problem is most people that eat blueberries eat them in pies, donuts, and fat related stuff!

Consumers know some of the benefits blueberries provide, but they’re less aware of the advantages of reverting aging, improving vision and memory, a new study shows. Researchers surveyed more than 2,000 people in 31 states - mostly on the East Coast and in the Midwest - to see what they know about the health benefits of blueberries. Ref. Source 6l.
