Blueberries have benefits 1 hour, 3 hours and even a day later

NutritionalFacts juts put out a facinating video for anyone who eats or wants to eat blueberries. youtube.com/watch?v=v7rRvZG...

The story begins with a study saying that a heavy dose of blueberries can counteract the negative effects of a cigarette on your arteries. But of course you would need to continue stuffing blueberries down yor throat to keep on getting those gains, so much better to stop smoking.

Whatever Dr Greger looks at the lifescycle of blueberries in the stomach - because they traced them through irradiation - to really understand how blueberries benefit the body. And that is what I found so fascinating.

Hi Andy,

I love blueberries too. :-)

I hear ordinary, non-organic, inexpensive ones are heavily sprayed (?). This did put me off. That's probably why people grow them in their backyard. How easy is it to grow them?

Thanks. I'll have to get some frozen ones again soon. I hear freezing them when harvested can preserve more vitamins and suchlike.

Frozen berries are an excellent way to get them into your diet when not in season. Almost no nutrtion is lost. Go for it.

Good news for our little blueberry farm in Sussex. Organic crop in July and August travels the country, andthey taste so different to the mass produced imports. Now to eat into the profits... 😱

What a great idea. You seem to love growing fruit trees, I noticed. I have a "patch" ready for planting. I have lost interest in any ornamental plants...Your encouragement was appreciated.
