Get me some more please!
But, what exactly are some of the health benefits of flavor packed fruits?
Well, I did some research online and discovered a few things about wondrous fruits that's worth knowing.

| Head over to your local grocer to find some delicious fresh strawberries or blueberries. |
1) Not in the mood for a orange for some vitamin C? or taking a supplement? Grab yourself some strawberries, these guys pack about half your days worth of vitamin C. A huge immune booster and antioxidant.
2) Eye Health: The vitamin C in strawberries (and other fruits) helps to prevent cataracts in your eyes -- later can cause blindness. Our eyes do need vitamin C.
3) Wrinkle Prevention: (Awesome!) Vitamin C helps the production of collagen, which is lost over the years. Collagen is what helps your skins elasticity and it's ability to bounce back after you rub your eyes or face. (another big helper, stay out of the sun, the rays are damaging to skin)
1) Low in calories: (woo hoo!) There's less than 100 in a cup, what a great snack. Go get some now, July is peak harvest month.
2) According to WebMD.com, one cup of blueberries gives your 14 percent of the recommended daily dose of fiber and almost 1/4 of the dose of vitamin C. Also the fruit ranked highest as an antioxidant filled fruit.
3) Blueberry juice?
This is interesting, WebMD.com reported about a study explained that drinking blueberry juice may give your brain a memory boost. Blueberries contain phytochemicals, which have antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects. They went on to explain several other things found in blueberries, like anthocynins and more, assisted the brain in how it gets rid of glucose.
