Blueberries Are High in Antioxidants & Cancer Fighting Properties
What really are antioxidants? Antioxidants consist of a group of important vitamins, minerals and enzymes that have powerful health enhancing effects for our bodies. Antioxidants work to neutralize free radicals before they do harm to our bodies. Free radicals are atoms that cause damage to our cells. They harm our immune system leading to many degenerative diseases which blueberries can fight. Free radicals are formed by our cells being exposed to a variety of substances such as radiation, chemicals, pollution, smoke, drugs, alcohol, harmful pesticides and excess sun exposure. Growing your own organic blueberries with blueberry plants from DiMeo Farms can help you get your daily dose of antioxidants with our cancer-fighting berries.

There is also evidence that organic blueberries may help to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders.

Blueberries Lower Cholesterol in Your Body
Besides tasting great and looking good, research studies at the United States Department of Agriculture have revealed that eating blueberries can also lower your cholesterol. Yes, even better than prescription drugs. This is due to the antioxidant compound found in blueberries called pterostilbene. Its effect is similar to a commercial medication, Ciprofibrate, that is used to reduce your bad or LDL cholesterol. Blueberries have been shown to give a similar result to Ciprofibrate without the drug’s negative side effects of causing muscle pain and nausea. This is another good reason why our DiMeo Blueberries and blueberry plants have become so popular today.
Eating Blueberries Improves Your Memory
Preliminary research suggests that organic blueberries protect against the effects of age-related deterioration of the brain, such as short-term memory loss. This is due to the antioxidant actions of flavonoids found in blueberries. They may protect against, and even reverse, some age-related memory loss by preventing degenerative free radical damage and improving blood flow, resulting in a healthier brain. In one study, Jim Joseph, Director of the neuroscience laboratory in the USDA Human Nutrition Center found that blueberry-fed mice performed better than their control group counterparts in motor behavioral learning and memory, and increased in exploratory behavior. Jim Joseph is currently testing the effects of blueberries on memory, coordination and balance on humans. Results show that people who ate a cup of blueberries every day have performed better on motor skills tests than the control group. Blueberries should play a more significant role in your healthy diet.
Organic Blueberries Prevent Urinary Tract Infections
Recent studies at the Blueberry Research Center, have shown that healthy blueberries have compounds similar to those of cranberries (that you can grow with our cranberry plants) and can also be used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Epicatechin is a bioflavonoid (antioxidant) found both in organic blueberries. Epicatechin works to prevent bacteria from attaching to the lining of the bladder tissue. This causes the bacteria to be eliminated thru your urine rather than attaching to the bladder wall, where they start multiplying and ultimately causing bladder infections. In addition, fructose (the sugar found naturally in organic fruits like blueberries) and cane sugar or honey that is often added to berry fruit juices, may also be beneficial by interfering with bacterial adhesion.
Blueberries Can Improve Your Eyesight
A number of studies in Europe have documented that fresh blueberries, like their European cousins, bilberries, have very high concentrations of anthocyanin, a natural compound linked with many health benefits including reducing eyestrain, improving nighttime visual acuity, and promoting quicker adjustment to darkness and faster restoration of visual acuity after exposure to glare. Farm fresh blueberries are known to prevent and even possibly reverse the most common cause of blindness, macular degeneration, a disease of the retina that is the primary cause of vision loss in older adults. This is due to the anthocyanin in the blue pigment in blueberries. Blueberries are so popular in Japan for its benefits on eyesight that it has been nicknamed “the vision fruit.” We heard that organic blueberries sell for up to $9.00 a pint over in Japan. Not to mention, blueberry prices here in the United States keep rising.
