24. Blueberries
Small but mighty, blueberries are loaded with phytonutrients that may help prevent heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Studies have also linked blueberries to improved memory and healthier aging.13Ingram, Donald K. ‘Blue Versus Gray: Potential Health Benefits of Blueberries for Successful Aging.’ OUP Academic, Oxford University Press, 8 Apr. 2019, academic.oup.com/biomedgerontology/article-abstract/74/7/965/5445331
The pigments that give blueberries their bluish-purple color are antioxidants that protect the body from harmful free radicals. Wild blueberries, though smaller than conventionally cultivated berries, have twice the antioxidant capacity. Add blueberries to cereal, yogurt or oatmeal, or just enjoy them plain. Plus, they have less naturally occurring sugar than most other fruits.
