I love blueberries so much~ (feat. blueberry benefits)

Blueberries that kids love so much!!

My mom asks why blueberries are so delicious.

As I kept eating, I found blueberries to be really great..

I prefer eating fresh blueberries over frozen ones, and they are also widely cultivated in our country.

Blueberries, a fruit that is continuously enjoyed around this time of year!

I always buy and eat Chilean blueberries even in winter, haha.

Every morning, when I pack the kids' fruits, I also pack my own lunch fruits.

I always make sure to bring blueberries.

Did you know that the benefits of blueberries are incredible?

 

1. Improvement of eye health

Blueberries, a representative black food!! The antioxidant anthocyanin, which is abundant in blueberries, helps improve vision and protect the retina, contributing to eye health. It may also help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Eating them frozen can increase the levels of anthocyanin slightly. (Be cautious as it can raise blood sugar levels!)

​

2. Improvement of cognitive function

Did you know that blueberries help improve brain health and enhance memory, concentration, and learning ability?

Black foods seem to improve brain health.

​

3. Improving Heart Health

Blueberries are effective in lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol levels, and protecting vascular health.

 

4. Cancer prevention

The antioxidant components of blueberries help protect the body from cell damage and also assist in cancer prevention.

 

5. Improve gut health and urinary health

Blueberries are rich in dietary fiber, which activates gut microbiota, helping to improve intestinal health as well as bowel movements.

It also helps in preventing urinary tract infections.

 

6. Improve cholesterol levels, enhance bone health

Blueberries are said to help reduce belly fat by inhibiting the reabsorption of cholesterol and fats.

It also helps maintain bone health and prevent osteoporosis.

 

7. Improvement of skin health

The antioxidant components of blueberries are effective in preventing skin damage and aging.

Although rich in vitamin B complex, it also contains abundant arginine and aspartic acid, which help alleviate fatigue and weakness. However, consuming it frozen may reduce the content of arginine and aspartic acid.

 

Even blueberries can have side effects~

Dried blueberries are high in sugar, so you should be careful with the amount you consume (this applies to any dried fruit).

Be careful as allergic reactions may occur!

Additionally, excessive intake may cause side effects such as abdominal pain or diarrhea.

And I didn't know this before, but it's not good to eat it with milk.

There are research findings suggesting that the components of milk may interfere with the benefits of polyphenols, which are antioxidants.

 

Oh.. I also pack milk along with the kids' fruit every morning, but...

I should change to eating blueberries separately in the evening;;;;;

 

Still, blueberries are so good for your health!

I am diligently eating blueberries again today~ ^^
