A Great Way to Lose Weight - Eat Blueberries!
- One cup of blueberries yields just 80 calories.
- A half of cup of blueberries provide 4 servings of fruit per day. That’s only 40 calories!
- Blueberries offer females “urinary tract protection”. Like cranberries, they contain proanthocyanidins, which inhibit bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract. Females are much more prone to urinary tract infections and need to go to the bathroom more frequently than males because females have a much shorter urinary tracts than males.
- Blueberries are high in antioxidant.
- In laboratory studies, blueberries help improve the memories of mice. Alzheimer, dementia, and other prion diseases are on the rise. Doctors know VERY LITTLE about these brain diseases, and there is NO CURE. CJD is a scary prion disease you will be hearing more about in the near future. Google it if you are curious.

I eat blueberries with my oatmeal most mornings. Delicious and nutricious!
I didn’t know they counted as so many servings of fruit. Will definitely have to get some. I’ll have to learn how to like them.
thanks for the info..Wow! I knew blue berries were great antioxidants, but didn’t know that like cranberries they were good UTI protection. I take cranberry supplements because of this issue. I also didn’t know they counted as 4 fruit servings. WOW!
Have a good one!
Thanks for the useful info!
