10 Health Benefits of Blueberries.

​Growing up with a native Michigander in the family (my mom Nancy Menchinger Case), we'd often make summer trips around the bend of Lake Michigan into the St. Joseph/Benton Harbor area to visit our relatives (Shirley Zick and company). I have such fond memories of that area and one of them is picking giant blueberries that grew amazingly well in that climate and type of soil there. We'd load up with pints upon pints to bring back to Wisconsin, to make jam, to put on our shredded wheat, and to make an occasional blueberry pie! I blueberries...and so now do our kiddos!!

Not surprisingly, recent studies have now shown that blueberries are excellent in combatting bone loss and collagen loss. There was also a 6-year study done on over 16,000 people that discovered blueberries and strawberries delay cognitive aging by up to 2.5 years. And another study discovered how blueberries are remarkable in helping reduce muscle damage after exercise. If you want to dig more into the benes, here is a good article that offers 10!!
