It is well known that blueberries contain a high amount of polyphenols, a compound that helps reduce the number of fat cells, meaning they prevent the formation of fatty tissues. It is also being demonstrated that blueberries influence the decrease of progressive metabolism deterioration, that is, the aging of cells. This is due to the antioxidant power of blueberries, which mainly affects this fact. Another benefit is that blueberry juice is a preventive measure against urinary infections that also reduces the need for antibiotics. Additionally, blueberries contain quinic acid (a substance that is eliminated), which acidifies urine, preventing urinary infections and avoiding the formation of calcium phosphate kidney stones (but not other types of stones). Studies published in the Journal of the American Dental Association reported that a unique component of blueberry juice has the ability to reverse and inhibit the coaggregation of certain oral bacteria responsible for dental plaque and periodontal disease. Thus, the benefits of blueberries are very broad, and their consumption is recommended to provide many health benefits.
