    Blueberries

    I've decided to eat 1 cup of blueberries, everyday for the rest of my life. I started today. Oxidants no longer a match for me!

    You are going to hate blueberry muffins so much. Aren't you afraid of getting sick of blueberries?

    I love blueberry muffins, always have always will. I do enjoy eating blueberries. So many ways to eat them... Blueberry shake, Blueberry smoothie, Blueberry muffin*, Blueberry Oatmeal cereal, Blueberry pancakes... etc... just as long as I can get a cup a day!

    I'm sure you've heard about it, if not...researchers fed equivalent of 1 cup of blueberry per day (was actually blueberry extracts) to rats. Those rats showed improved conduction in brain messaging, as well a relative increase in motor/sensory control over the control group of rats, which showed a decline (as factors of the aging process).

    So, I'm banking that rats and humans are similar. If not... it's going to be a whole lotta wasted blueberries!

    If you are eating them, they can't be wasted. I love blueberries, too.
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    Have you dissected a bleuberry RK? Its funny but they arent actually blue inside, its just the skin. Much like red grapes (which are also good for you).

    I dont know if its healthy to eat it everyday. They say too much of anything is bad for you because it causes an unbalance in your system.

    But yeah I love them too. They are quite addictive.

    blueberries are really healthy, but you shouldn't over do it on just one food type. you should switch it up with raspberries or blackberries which are just as good.

    Can I examine you? I think you are blue on the inside.

    Oh Rsk, in about a month or two you are going to be SO SICK of blueberries! Although they ARE very good.

    There are many other fruits/veggies with great antioxidant qualities....like acai, like Neo said, for one. Mix it up a little.
