Whether it is fresh, frozen or thrown into a smoothie, berries are an excellent addition to your Diet.

Blueberries
There is no shortage of research done on the venerable blueberry; it has not earned its status as a superfood for nothing! Blue berries are packed with phytonutrients, such as cyanidins, flavonols such as quercitin, and others such as resveratrol. Blueberries have been shown to provide benefits for the cardiovascular system, cognitive ability, benefit for the eyes and protection against cancer.
