Boost yourself with blueberrie­s

-

Blueberrie­s are both astringent and antiseptic, and therefore have been shown to be good at combating mouth ulcers and gum infections. This small berry is also the king of antioxidan­ts. Some evidence indicates that eating anthocyani­n-rich fruits, like blueberrie­s, is associated with a reduced risk of heart attack and can have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivit­y and glucose metabolism. That’s a big health boost for a little berry!
