Health Benefits of Blueberries

Good Things Come in Small Blue Packages

They're blue, they're delicious, and it seems like every other day the media reports new health benefits of blueberries.

All blueberries are nutritional powerhouses - but wild blueberries, if you can get them (and they're increasingly available frozen in your supermarket), are the ones to go for. A 2004 USDA study ranked wild blueberries as the number one anti-oxidant fruit, with 48% more antioxidants than the cultivated (farmed) berry. Anti-oxidants fight free radicals in the body, which help build your immunity.

So what can blueberries do for you?
