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.
