Blueberry Blissful Benefits

Blueberries are one of nature’s most powerful superfoods to support your body in balancing blood sugar, increasing fiber and slowing the signs of aging.


1. Blueberries and Blood Sugar Balance

Blueberries have a low glycemic index and can improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood glucose. If you have an energy dip at 3pm, try a quarter cup of blueberries with a quarter cup of high protein yogurt or cottage cheese and a sprinkle of cinnamon to refuel.


2. Nutritional Profile of Blueberries

A 1-cup serving of fresh blueberries contains about 85 calories packed with:

  • Vitamin C to support immune function and skin health

  • Vitamin K for blood clotting and bone metabolism

  • Fiber to aid digestion and support gut health

  • Manganese to help bone formation and nutrient metabolism


3. Benefits of Blueberries for your Body

Adding blueberries to your daily routine can bring a range of health benefits:

  • Heart Health: Regular consumption has been linked to reduced LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lower blood pressure

  • Brain Function: Blueberries may improve your memory and delay cognitive decline because of their antioxidant content

  • Digestive Health: Fiber promotes gut regularity and supports a healthy microbiome

  • Weight Management: Their fiber and water content help keep you full longer

  • Skin Health: Antioxidants fight oxidative stress, which contributes to aging and skin damage


4. Blueberries and Antioxidants: The Real Superpower

Blueberries are one of the richest sources of antioxidants, particularly flavonoids like quercetin and anthocyanins. These compounds help lower inflammation, support cardiovascular health, and protect against cellular aging.  Frozen blueberries are typically picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen to preserve their nutrients. In fact, some studies suggest that freezing may preserve or even concentrate certain antioxidants like anthocyanins.
