Wild Blueberry

For as small as the blueberry is, this fruit contains some huge health benefits. Though in themselves they are not a cure-all, they contain fructose, fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Blueberries will help protect your body from cancer, heart disease, and other ailments. They will also help increase your motor skills to your brain, and lower your cholesterol.

Blueberries are native to North America, but are also found in Australia, New Zealand, and South American Countries.

Blueberries are very similar in quality and appearance to the Bilberry.

If you have a blueberry bush in your backyard, a great way to have blueberries year round is to freeze them- by placing them on a cookie sheet in the freezer until they are frozen, and then placing them in a zip lock bag.

Wild Bilberry Extract

This fruit is closely related the blueberry's or huckleberry's. One of the easiest ways to distinguish the bilberry from the blueberry is to look at the way it grows on the plant- blueberry's create more clusters, while bilberry's create single or pairs of berry's. The inside of a bilberry is red or purple, and will stain skin.

Native to Europe, some other names you might hear this fruit called are: blaeberry, whortleberry, whinberry, myrtle blueberry, and fraughan.

Bilberry's contain chemicals known as anthocyanosides, which are great antioxidants- fighting free radicals. Bilberry's also contain high vitamin C.

The Bilberry is also known to help build strong blood vessels and improve circulation. One of the pigments inside of the Bilberry will help improve vision.

Even thought eating Bilberry's have no known side effects, it is still good to meet with a doctor before taking something with Bilberry because of the limited amount of research done if you:
- Have allergies to plants.
- On Medication.
- Pregnant.
- Breast Feeding.
- Have Diabetes.
- Are taking Bilberry in another form.

The reason Jus decided to use Bilberry as one ingredient in this antioxidant, is because of its antioxidant power.

Kick off with some antioxidants...

With so much of our focus and thought today on "losing weight" and "getting back into shape", many times the health side of it all gets pushed out the window. We beat up our bodies with workout schedules, denial of foods, and "diets"... and might look better for a season... but it never really lasts...

Wouldn't it be nice to simply be in a place where we feel good about our bodies, the food we eat, and how we look? Wouldn't it be nice to just feel healthy?

For years we have heard that we need to consume a higher volume of fruits,veggies, and natural foods. Ideally, we would all have our kitchens full of these things, but with the fast paced lifestyle of today's culture, it is nearly impossible to consume the nutrition our body requires to feel and look good.

While I am not a fan of modern day "dieting" (most people I see do this will deprive themselves for a season, and then jump right back in to previous habits... and right back in to a previous body type and style of living... seems pretty ineffective to me) , I do believe strongly in eating right and taking care of our bodies. With a smart balance of care, exercise, and nutrition, I believe we can be looking and feeling great, and ultimately taking our focus off of our bodies and on to other important things of our day because we finally look and feel like we have always wanted to and can walk confidently.

As you can already tell, this blog is dedicated to studying the benefits of daily using an antioxidant supplement to further nourish our bodies because of the lack of nutrition we receive due to "life in the fast lane".

If you continue to revisit this blog, you will find some very interesting research of a product that could very well be what you need to help your body finally get to that place where you are HEALTHY.

Stay tuned!
