The Chilean Fresh Fruit Association Says...
Fresh Blueberries — The Tastiest Way to Boost
Brains, Beauty and Health
 - About 95% of Americans believe fresh is best when it comes to blueberries.
- Today we can enjoy fresh blueberries all year thanks to blueberries from Chile
where it’s summer during our winter.
- A half-cup of blueberries packs plenty of fiber, vitamin C, potassium and
antioxidants into only 40 sweet calories.
- Blueberries contain a natural chemical found in laboratory studies to prevent
colon cancer.
- Blueberries contain more disease-fighting antioxidants than red wine or green
tea.
- Half a cup of blueberries a day may help improve brain function plus help
prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia according to independent university
studies.
- Blueberries not only lower risk of heart disease and cancer, they are antiinflammatory.
- Some scientific evidence suggests that blueberries may be beneficial for the
skin. New skin care treatments include blueberry extracts to help revitalize
the skin and hasten healing.
- Blueberries provide the same bacteria fighters as cranberries to help guard
against urinary tract infections
- Blueberries are considered a “super food” by leading nutrition and medical
experts and a recommended diet staple for health, skin care and longevity.
Fresh Tip
For a super food snack, toss some blueberries together with walnuts and toasted
oats laced with honey. Take along in a container to work or school. Or enjoy
at home layered with vanilla yogurt as a perfect parfait.
