A serving of blueberries contains 10 percent of the daily requirements for vitamin C, as well as 2 percent of the recommended daily amount of iron. Vitamin C helps in the formation of collagen, helps maintain healthy gums and capillaries, and promotes iron absorption and a healthy immune system. |
Source Rich in Antioxidants |
Antioxidants are compounds that fight important diseases. Scientists believe that they help prevent and repair the stress that comes from oxidation, a natural process that occurs during normal cell function. A small percentage of cells are damaged during oxidation and become free radicals, which can initiate a chain reaction to damage more cells and possibly disease. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of blueberries benefit the health of the heart and protect it. Recent studies conducted by Dr. Xanli Wu and his colleagues at the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center in Little Rock, focused on inflammation and atherosclerosis. Cranberries have also been shown to protect against cardiovascular disease, reduce cholesterol, blood pressure, protection against stroke and reduce oxidative stress. They also prevent suffering from heart attacks. |
