Blueberries Reduce Inflammation, Slow Aging

Written By: Rebecca on June 28, 2009 5 Comments

blueResearchers found that blueberry eaters showed a reduction in several factors influencing the inflammatory response. They concluded that blueberry polyphenols can lessen learning impairments resulting from neurotoxic insult and exert anti-inflammatory actions, perhaps by alteration of gene expression.

Other studies have found that diets rich in blueberries significantly improved both the learning capacity and motor skills of aging animals, making them mentally equivalent to animals much younger.

Based on data from the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (Boston, MA), blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity.

Researchers have shown that blueberry anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, flavonols, and tannins inhibit cancer cell development and inflammation in vitro.  Similar to red grapes, some blueberry species contain significant levels of resveratrol in their skins.

Another study suggests that the best way to gain maximum benefits from blueberries and other fruits eaten for their polyphenol content is to consume them either one hour before protein is consumed, or two hours after.

    it is the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH?I do believe that swimmers who swim for at least thrice a week can slow down their aging process thus swimming is the fountain of youth aside from healthy diet and a positive point of view.
