Blueberries rank as one of highest potency for fruits in antioxidants. Blueberry's anthocyanins are the chemicals responsible for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and help a great deal with preventing disease and sickness. Blueberries have been shown to help with heart disease, which is the number 1 killer in the US, with over 650,000 people each year dieing. They also help with memory loss and urinary tract infections.

Do you know what an antioxidant is? How about a free radical? Lets start with free radicals. Free radicals are the molecules that can cause our bodies to break down, age. When we breath, eat, and even exercise we create free radicals. These are molecules that steal electrons from other healthy molecules, which then makes those cells weaker, more susceptible to sickness and disease. That's where antioxidants come into the picture. They offer electrons to our damaged molecules which fight sickness and disease. Great stuff right. So where do you we get antioxidants from, fruits and vegetables. If you can not consume enough raw whole foods, please take a vitamin supplement.

Take care of your health its responsibility.
