A ½ cup serving of wild blueberries has more antioxidant power. Researchers demonstrated that anthocyanin-rich wild blueberries are highly beneficial in maintaining memory function. The study, conducted by a team led by Dr Robert Krikorian at the University of Cincinnati, confirmed that Wild Blueberry supplemented diets improved memory function and mood in older adults with early memory decline.
You can do the research on wild blueberries. I also suggest check my journal on smoothies.
Dark chocolate has fewer calories than other chocolates, eaten in moderation, it lowers unhealthy LDL cholesterol and prevents plaque from building up in your arteries.
Pomegranates reduce plaque. Egg yolks contain choline, that helps protect heart and brain function and prevents cholesterol and fat from accumulating in the liver. Almonds have fiber and monounsaturated fat, it helps to lower cholesterol. Garlic lowers total cholesterol and triglyceride.
and actually produce no insulin of their own (or very little insulin if they do produce any), and so lowering the carbohydrate count in their diets will not solve the problem.
If you are not already trying this, a low carbohydrate diet (avoid sugars, grains, minimal fruits), may also help in lowering your blood sugar.
I generally consume odwalla/naked drinks every morning 5/7 days of the week, along with an odwalla or cliff bar. I will sometimes consume another granola bar later in the night. I feel like I'm consuming to much sugar, in short. Does anyone have thoughts on this ? I'm a busy student, so i just grab things and go. I'm trying to grab healthier things, but the amount of sugar in this stuff is crazy.

I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?

I am highly allergic to blueberries. I can't even be in the same room as someone who is eating or drinking anything. One day one of my friends came over with something with blueberries. He didn't clean it up and I got stuck cleaning it up, and I got a nice rash. How do I nicely say that blueberries are not allowed in my apartment, without sounding mean?

Hi ladies. I'm Almost 34 weeks and i am having the worst constipation ever. Is there something you guys have tried that works? I have been drinking fiber.
Thanks in advance.
hello everyone!
i have a problem.....i dont eat any kind of vegetables except potatoes & corn(but ppl say those dont count because they are starches). And im scared that if i dont eat any that my baby wont get all the nutrition that it needs. I've tried to eat different ones but it doesnt work out. Is there any other healthy food that will make up for the veggies? Someone told me that my prenantal vitamins arent enough i need more nutrition. I want my baby to be very healthy.
the diet was not low food at all, i just changed pasta with black rice 80gr with vegetables in it (potatoes and many others) and a lot of blueberries and berries (about 180gr a day) plus little exsercise so the main result is from antocianins in this food at lunch and dinner, and i have to tell you can t eat a lot after those
i used xenical in the past and swimming heavy everyday but never went less than 74kg whatever the time or the strengths, so for me it was antocianins mainly plus the rest
I think you're making a common mistake in thinking about food, which is that protein is good and carbs are bad. This isn't at all true -- the majority of your diet should be carbs. Vegetables, for example, the core of a healthy diet, are carbs, whereas beef is very high in fat on purpose and hard to digest despite being high in protein and so is never weight-loss food.
But after eating a diet filled with blueberries they all performed better, even the rats who were fed blueberries for just one month. In fact, in just one month's time, they scored just as well as the young rats in the study. On the other hand, the aging rats fed a normal diet performed worse on later tests.
In addition, the aging rats fed blueberries for at least two months kept their young brains.

Blueberries
Antiaging superstars, blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which have been shown to improve vision and brain function.

The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling down period in between. Ideally you’ll be sprinting or cycling full throttle for 30 seconds with a 90 second cool down in between each outburst.

Also, a large portion of calories from blueberries come from sugars.
The only current treatment for hepc is interferon and ribavirin.
