Remember my posts about the blueberries I eat every morning Monday-Friday as part of my diet routine.
A study by the University of Michigan found that eating blueberries every single day may actually inhibit the creation of new fat cells in the body.
Blueberries help inhibit fat cell creation (adipogenesis) and reduce fat storage by inhibiting fat gain at the molecular level, primarily through their rich content of polyphenols like anthocyanins. These compounds can decrease lipid (fat) content in tissue and induce lipolysis, which is the breakdown of fats.
These effects have been shown in mouse and cell studies and research is ongoing in humans, however, blueberries are one thing that EVERYONE (unless allergic or intolerant) should eat every single day. Blueberries are one of the healthiest foods due to their high content of vitamins, minerals, fiber and powerful antioxidants particularly anthocyanins, which offer protection against heart disease, cancer, inflammation and age-related cognitive decline.
