Cranberry Antioxidant

A small treasure chest that contains dozens of treasures. The blueberry stands as one of the most sought after fruits on the market, thanks to its beneficial properties known since ancient times and now returned to the center of the debate.

Among the advantages of blueberry we point out:

Let's now get to the heart of the powers of the blueberry and focus on its most appreciated characteristics.

The antioxidant property of blueberry

Among the many reasons for this lively blueberry run, one of the first reasons is linked to its antioxidant strength . Science is in fact unanimous in recognizing in the small fruit a very high density of phytonutrients, which perform a double antioxidant and anti-inflammatory function very useful for our health.

wild blueberry is the fruit with greatest antioxidant activity present in nature; This is followed closely by cranberry, blackberry and raspberry.

But what does "antioxidant"? Antioxidants are physical agents that act against free radicals born as a result of oxidation reactions, slowing down or even inhibiting their onset. Oxidation processes are very common within our body and are linked, for example, to digestion, medication, active and passive smoking. From these processes arise free radicals, which if present in excessive quantities are considered responsible for phenomena such as skin aging, vascular problems, raising levels of cholesterol and much more. Hence the fundamental role of antioxidants: creating a balance and going to counteract excess free radicals, balancing organic functions.

Here is the list of elements high in antioxidants:

• Blueberries and red fruits;
• Lemons;
• Spinach;
• Citrus fruits in general;
• Kiwi;
• Grape;
• Carrots

• Life too sedentary, so far without particular side effects;
• Poor blood circulation, which usually occurs precisely on the limbs and extremities of the body;
• Excessive stagnation of liquids;
• Chronic constipation, which triggers a compression of blood vessels with consequent aggravation of cellulite.

If you have noticed a rapid onset of cellulite, we invite you to contact your doctor or trusted aesthetic professional and review your lifestyle where possible.

In what forms to eat blueberries? Fruit, juice, yogurt...? The best choice is always that of fruit. Alternatively, ok also for a blueberry extract, as long as there is no added sugar: however, it may be inconvenient to obtain, given the small size of the fruit.
