Donut mind if I do.
Blueberries are filled with antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, manganese, and vitamin B2. The health benefits of blueberries are mainly due to anthocyanidins, a group of deep red, purple, and blue pigments found in plants. These compounds play a role in fighting free radical damage, which leads to aging and the formation of numerous diseases. Anthocyanins also have a positive effect on gut health and microflora, helping to decrease inflammation.
