Blueberries: The Antioxidant Superfruit

Blueberry bushes are commonly found in cool, mountainous, and forested regions of Europe. For centuries, Europeans have used blueberries to treat hemorrhoids, dysentery, digestive tract inflammations, mouth infections, and eye inflammations.

Blueberries contain large amounts of bioflavonoids, which give them their vibrant red colors. They help prevent blood clots and fat oxidation, making them beneficial for preventing skin aging, strengthening blood vessels, treating hemorrhoids, and varicose veins, and stopping internal bleeding due to their anti-inflammatory effect.

Thanks to the high concentration of tannins, blueberries aid in treating kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and arthritis. They also enhance night vision. Additionally, blueberries contain the flavonoid "anthocyanidin," which helps stabilize blood vessels and improve blood flow to the eyes by 80 percent.

For chronic glaucoma treatment, it is recommended to drink 1-2 cups of blueberry juice twice a day. They strengthen collagen and reduce intraocular pressure.

For those suffering from cataracts, it is advised to drink 3 cups of blueberry juice along with 400 units of vitamin E.

If you suffer from arthritis, high blood pressure, hemorrhoids, or kidney stones, drink 3 cups of blueberry juice daily.

You can also make a red fruit smoothie, rich in antioxidants, which is beneficial to consume every day. They combat "free radicals," which are the cause of most health issues.
