Blueberries are a good source of resveratrol (found mostly on the skin of the blueberry), which is known to increase the effects of radiation against breast cancer.They are also a great source of anthocyanins, which reduce the increase of breast cancer cells. A study published in the October 2011 issue of The Journal Of Nutrition found that blueberries may also control tumor growth by 60 percent to 75 percent.
Blueberries are high in antioxidants and have been shown to work more effectively when drinking milk after protein is consumed an hour or two beforehand. Dietary experts recommend eating blueberries three to four times per week. A half a cup of blueberries contains more antioxidants than any other berry. In addition, blueberries also are packed with Vitamin C and can be eaten with cereal, yogurt, in smoothies or even alone.
