July is Blueberry Month
Blueberries are one of the most nutritional foods you can eat and they are great stress busters. Blueberries have potent antioxidants. Half a cup of blueberries provides the antioxidant power of five servings of peas, carrots, apples, squash, or broccoli. Blueberries are called “youth berries,” or “brain berries,” because they have been shown to improve motor skills and reverse age-related memory loss. Blueberries may also prevent cancer, protect the brain from stroke, and reduce heart disease. Each serving of this great blueberry pie is like visiting a “fountain of youth.”
