Wild blueberries and antioxidants
Their phenomenon is mainly based on the high content of substances with a strong antioxidant effect. Antioxidants protect our body against oxidative stress, i.e. the state of excessive activity of free radicals. Free radicals are unpaired oxygen atoms that steal oxygen from healthy cells and thus lead to pathogenic changes. They significantly increase the risk of cancer or coronary artery disease, accelerate skin aging and cause eye dysfunction, ending with, among others, macular degeneration and cataracts.
Healthy nutrition is focused on reducing the multiplication of free radicals. The richest sources of antioxidants are fruits and vegetables, including berries such as wild blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and cranberries. The main antioxidants contained in wild blueberries include carotenoids and anthocyanins.
Wild blueberries and digestive system
Blueberries can be a quick remedy for diarrhoea. A dried blueberry infusion is much better to take in case of diarrhoea, as the raw form does not show such strong constipating properties. Moreover, naturally occurring tannins make wild blueberries very helpful in all ailments of the digestive system. These substances regulate intestinal peristalsis, dehydrate faeces, seal the gastric mucosa, have antibacterial properties, disinfect, slow down the fermentation process in the intestines, help eliminate parasites and improve appetite.
Wild blueberries and eyes
A combination of antioxidants (carotenoids and anthocyanins), vitamin C and tannins are a unique blend to strengthen protection against almost any kind of eye dysfunction (i.e. eye retinal diseases, macular degeneration, cataracts). These compounds also help seal capillaries in the eye and improve eyesight after dark.
