A study conducted in the USA has revealed the significant health benefits of wild blueberries.
Medianews.az reports that the results were published in the journal "Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition."
Scientists from Maine University analyzed over 20 years of scientific research and determined that wild blueberries have positive effects on the intestines and cardiovascular system.
According to the specialists, this berry contains more beneficial substances compared to ordinary blueberries. It is rich in approximately twice as many antioxidants, 72% more fiber, and higher amounts of anthocyanins.
Research has shown that regular consumption of wild blueberries reduces inflammation, improves the condition of blood vessels, and positively affects the gut microflora.
Scientists state that consuming half a glass or one glass of blueberries daily is sufficient to gain these benefits. The fruit retains its beneficial properties in fresh, frozen, or dried form as well.
