It’s just coming to the end of blueberry season so we better take advantage of the few weeks we have left! Compared with over 20 other fruits including strawberries and cranberries, blueberries have shown to have the highest antioxidant activity.

1 Cup of Blueberries contains 14 mg of Vitamin C and .8 mg of Vitamin E.

In addition to the high antioxidant count, blueberries are a great source of fiber! Here are all the other great health benefits to munching on the little blue nuggets I like to call natures candy:

  • Research has shown blueberries to help prevent and slow age related loss in both with memory and motor skills.
  • Help to promote urinary track health and prevent infection
  • Help to fight free radicals that can cause Cancer
  • Studies have shown that they may help prevent heart disease and strokes
  • May improve night vision
