Food 411 - Blueberries - Delicious and Healthy Living

Did you know that blueberries are high in flavanoids and cartanoids (powerful anti-oxidants), selenium, vitamin A and C? Do you know what that means? It means that among many things, Blueberries are great for the eyes. They have been shown to prevent and/or delay any number of eye related disorders associated with aging. So eat as much as you can for eye health.

A word to the wise:

Whenever you can, please buy organic blueberries. All thin skinned fruits and vegetables take on more herbicide (weed killer) and pesticide (bug killer) chemical residue. Certified organic blueberries do not use these dangerous chemicals that have been associated with a number of neurological disorders like Parkinson’s Disease and cancers.
