Blueberries are an excellent super food because they are excellent at fighting free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for aging, tissue damage and possibly some diseases. Blueberries are great at slowing age related mental illnesses, lowering your chance of urinary tract infections and reducing your risk of cancers and heart disease. Not to mention, they are packed with antioxidants, phytonutrients, potassium and vitamin C. To get the biggest punch from blueberries, eat 1/2 cup each day.
My favorite way to get blueberries everyday is by adding them to a smoothie and sprinkling them on cereals and salads.
Do you love blueberries? How do you add them to your daily menu?

Sunday, we are going to have an “outside activity day.” We are taking our bicycles, canoe and a picnic to the everglades for the day. Last time we went bicycling there, we almost ran into a one of these! However, the one we saw wasn’t orange.
