​Blueberries are primarily native to North America and east Asia. However, the demand for blueberries has countries throughout the world harvesting this super fruit. North America makes up for 90% of the blueberry harvest. Its popularity may have something to do with the fact that blueberries are full of beneficial nutrients.

Packed with Vitamin C, one serving of blueberries contain 25% of your daily vitamin C requirement. Vitamin C promotes healthy gums, iron absorption, and it can help boost your immune system.
Worried that you are not getting enough fiber? One serving of blueberries can help you meet your daily requirement of dietary fiber. The amount of vitamins, sodium, copper, fructose, and acids in blueberries, aids in improving digestion.

Blueberries have the highest amounts of anti-oxidants, as it is rich in vitamins B, E and A. Also, blueberries are rich in copper, selenium, zinc, and iron. The anti-oxidants in blueberries can also help prevent peptic ulcers, glaucoma, and heart disease. Studies have also shown that blueberries also help in preventing Alzheimer's Disease.

Not only does this delicious super fruit prevent illness, it may also aid in reducing your waistline. A study was conducted, using rats as the test subject. Rats where given blueberry powder for 90 days. After the 90 days, the rats were shown to have less fat on their abdomen. Blueberries have also proven to be beneficial to your vision. A compound called anthcyanosides has shown to slow down vision loss.

Blueberries can keep you alert, active, and in a good mood (they have been shown to be a good anti-depressant). If you are looking for an alternative to medicine, pick up some blueberries for a tasty treat that will make you happy, keep your waistline trim, and prevent illness.
