Blueberries in winter

No they’re not in season but you can still enjoy these summer favourites in the depths of winter –just buy them frozen and keep a bag in the freezer for making smoothies. Blueberries are packed with antioxidant power, making them one of the best anti-aging super foods we can eat – frozen or fresh. Here’s why blueberries can help us look and feel younger:

• They contain anthocyanins - compounds that help to keep all our bodies cells from aging.

• They have strong anti-inflammatory properties - inflammation is the major cause of skin aging and wrinkles.

• They are loaded with vitamin C – needed to make the collagen our skin needs to give it structure and keep it firm.

• They help stimulate neural regeneration in our brains and enhance memory – boosting mental health.

• They can actually help prevent diseases like cancer and heart disease because their flavonoids protect our DNA from damage.

All this for only a few calories per serving! Plus blueberries have are low on the glycemic scale and won’t effect your blood sugar levels like many other fruit.
