Small in size, Big in antioxidants

Despite the size of blueberries they actually contain the highest amount of antioxidants among any fruit. One cup of these will deliver atleast 14% of the recommended daily dosage for fiber and almsot a quarter for vitamin c. By eating some of these during he week you may doing a good job at avoiding the common cold and keeping sharp at the same time. What I mean by that is blueberries are also a very good antioxidant for your brain. "The anthocyanin, the selenium, the vitamins A, B-complex, C and E, the zinc, sodium, potassium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese etc., among others, can prevent and heal neurotic disorders by preventing degeneration and death of neurons, brain-cells and also by restoring health of the central nervous system." Blueberries are also able to neutralize free radicals that are lniked to aging and disease, aid in recuding belly fat, promote urinary tract health, preserve vision, and cure heart disease. Unfortunately I rarely see these fruits available at the dining common because they may be out of season (not sure). You can still pick them up and have a healthy snack for whenever you may have a break in the day.
