My daughters have been having a new way to start their day, a little cup of organic blueberries, dusted with some natural cane sugar. My oldest likes whip cream on top. (Are you drooling yet?)
I just recently saw a program with a lady talking about ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity). Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals which are unstable molecules linked to the development of a number of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease and other age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's. According to the USDA database of the antioxidant activity of selected foods (ORAC values), blueberries rank among the highest on a per serving basis.
A cup of blueberries are low in calories also with only 80 calories. YAY!!! So, Grab a cup of blueberries and make it a great green day!
