What is the function of blueberries?

1. Blueberries are used in jellies, jams and pies, and are also baked in muffins. It is one of the ingredients of many snacks and delicacies. Many baked products will be flavored with artificial blueberries, but in fact they do not contain real blueberries. Blueberry jam is a jam composed of blueberries, sugar, water and pectin. Jam in commercial packaging usually contains chemical preservatives such as citric acid. Top blueberry jam is produced in Canada and the United States, using wild blueberries; Its size is small, and it is not easy to harvest, but the cultivated blueberry with good taste is stronger. Mainly produced in Maine, northwest Ontario, Canada and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean in Quebec. 2. Blueberries, especially wild species, contain antioxidants, which can reduce the chance of cancer. At the International Conference on Longevity in 24, some researchers released the details of a study, showing that some specific compounds in blueberries (and some similar plants, such as cranberries) have a strong influence on the inhibition of brain function degradation, and related diseases include Alzheimer's disease. [1][2] Researchers at Rutgers University in the United States [3] also showed that blueberries may prevent urinary tract infections. 3. 14 grams of fresh blueberries contain 3 grams of dietary fiber and 14 milligrams of vitamin C. [4] Blueberries also contain a lot of anthocyanins beneficial to the retina, and are rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, carotenoids, dietary fiber, potassium and zinc.

Health care function

Anthocyanins in blueberries can delay memory decline and prevent heart disease, so they are regarded as super fruits. According to the American Daily Health News, recent research has added a reputation to super fruit, and eating more blueberries or drinking anthocyanin drinks can help prevent colon cancer. Studies have found that blueberries can play this role because blueberries and other fruits contain a natural compound called pterostilbene, which helps to prevent pre-cancer damage to the body. Pterostilbene is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, which exists in both blueberries and blackberries. Ohio University found that animals who ate rough berries had a lower risk of colon cancer by 8% and digestive tract tumors by 6%. German researchers found that drinking 2-3 cups of apple juice every day can also prevent colon cancer. However, people should not rely on any kind of food to prevent colon blueberry cancer. They must balance their diet and supplement fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants in many ways. Blueberries contain a lot of purple components, which are anthocyanins. It can get rid of eye fatigue, let your eyes continue to work, and let you have charming eyes. Abstract: Blueberries can improve eyesight and eliminate eye fatigue: Blueberries VS Vitamin A: Vitamin A can also protect eyes. What's the difference between Blueberries and Blueberries? VA is only one of the basic nutrition of retina in the speech, and blueberry not only contains vitamin A, but also mainly contains anthocyanin, which can directly accelerate the synthesis and regeneration of retina and rhodopsin, and make eyes bloom. -On July 22nd, 28, Health Times published an article by Kazuhiro Nakagawa, a doctor of biomedicine in Japan: Medical clinical reports show that anthocyanins in blueberries can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent myopia and improve vision. Professor Walker, a doctoral supervisor at the University of Toronto and a doctor of medicine at Harvard University, confirmed that blueberries can prevent myopia and various eye diseases. -"Blueberry gives you a good eye" Author: Nakagawa and Hiro

Blueberry (blueberry) scientific name, belonging to Vaccinium of Ericaceae. The fruit is blue, covered with a layer of white fruit powder, with delicate pulp, sweet and sour fruit flavor, unique flavor and rich nutrition. Blueberry is a wild deciduous shrub belonging to Vaccinium of Ericaceae, which is called Indigo indigotica and Sang Zi Mountain in different habitats. Blueberry growing in the virgin forest north of Daxing 'anling in China is called "Dupersimmon". Blueberry can resist the cold of-5℃, its roots grow in frozen soil all the year round, and its fruit is rich in nutrients. Wild blueberry is a rare wild fruit with high nutritional value. According to the analysis of Tufts University, among 4 kinds of vegetables and fruits with antioxidant effect, the content of Anthocyanosides in blueberries ranks first. Blueberries contain the highest content of anthocyanins among all fruits and vegetables, and the most abundant part of anthocyanins in blueberries is in its unique purple peel. Blueberries contain special nutrients such as anthocyanins, organic germanium, organic selenium, arbutin, amino acids, fruit acids and so on, which are unmatched by any plant, especially anthocyanins composed of 16 Bioflavonoids, which have superior physiological activities compared with general plant anthocyanins. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to wild berries in food and health care products, which is due to the unique health care function of blueberry anthocyanins. Blueberry fruit is rich in anthocyanins (anthocyanins), which mainly have the effects of antibiotics, anti-free radicals, anti-vision degradation, anti-arteriosclerosis and thrombosis. Vaccinium juice can be used to extract cranberry red pigment, which is widely used in food coloring and health care products for astronauts and primary and secondary school students to prevent vision loss and degradation. According to the research of American, Japanese and European scientists, regular consumption of blueberry products can obviously enhance vision and eliminate eye fatigue; Nourishing skin; Delaying cranial nerve aging; Has therapeutic effect on capillary diseases caused by diabetes; Enhance heart function; Prevent Alzheimer's disease. It is precisely because of its nutritional and medicinal functions that the International Food and Agriculture Organization lists blueberry as one of the five healthy foods for human beings. The health value of blueberry products has been gradually recognized by more consumers. Yaowang Blueberry Treasure, a health food for treating pseudomyopia and relieving visual fatigue, produced by Yaowang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a famous pharmaceutical factory in Kansai, Japan; France used blueberry extract 85%, VC 1% and β -carotene 5% to make the drug "Diptamine" for treating diabetic retinopathy, and achieved good sales performance all over the world. Many biotechnology enterprises and large hospitals in China imported blueberries from abroad or extracted anthocyanins from rare wild blueberries in Xing 'an Mountains, and developed drugs to treat pseudomyopia and relieve visual fatigue. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization lists blueberry as one of the five healthy foods for human beings, and it is known as the "golden berry". Prevention, the most influential health magazine in America, called it "magic fruit". Blueberries were selected as "one of the top ten best nutritious foods" by American Time magazine.

[ Edit this paragraph] What are anthocyanidins

Anthocyanins are pure natural anti-aging nutritional supplements, and research has proved that they are the most effective antioxidants found by human beings today. The antioxidant activity of Anthocyanosides is 5 times higher than that of vitamin E and 2 times higher than that of vitamin C. Its bioavailability to human body is 1%, and it can be detected in blood within 2 minutes after taking it. Different from other antioxidants, Anthocyanosides can directly protect the brain and nervous system through the blood-brain barrier.

[ Edit this paragraph] Efficacy of anthocyanins

1. Prevention of cancer

Cancer is also caused by the destruction of genetic material (DNA) by free radicals. By protecting genetic material, Anthocyanosides will indirectly protect us against cancer. Although it is long-term, Anthocyanosides do have an indirect protective effect. The free radical scavenging effect of Anthocyanosides can also prevent cancer cells from spreading smoothly, thereby protecting more healthy cells from being eroded by cancer cells. On the other hand, some cancers form tumors by dissolving tissues and cells, and these cancer cells produce lysosomes and proteins, and OPC can protect protein from proteins. For example, the pathogenesis of breast cancer is such, so taking OPC will have a good inhibitory effect on the development of breast cancer.

2. No.1 Antioxidant

International authoritative magazines such as toxicology report that free radicals can cause more than 1 diseases, including various cancers, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, arteriosclerosis, aging and diabetes. Blueberry contains a lot of physiologically active substances, which is called the "No.1 antioxidant" in fruits and vegetables. It can protect cells and avoid being damaged by peroxides. It has the functions of preventing dysfunction, improving short-term memory and improving the balance and coordination of the elderly. American Center for Human Nutrition Research found that blueberry is the fruit with the richest anthocyanin content, and its antioxidant capacity ranks first among more than 4 kinds of fruits and vegetables. In 1986, Masquerel applied for a patent for the free radical scavenger function of anthocyanin in the United States. As an antioxidant functional food, anthocyanin officially entered the American market, and its application scope became wider and wider. The experimental application proved that anthocyanin has been found to have direct or indirect preventive and therapeutic effects on nearly 1 diseases. Anthocyanin can activate the epidemic system, protect serum immunoglobulin from free radicals, activate macrophages and enhance human immunity. In the past, because human beings were often troubled by traditional diseases such as lung disease and infection, the research on antibiotics was once the focus of people's research. Later, due to the improvement of human health awareness, the research on vitamins was listed as the focus of people's research. It can be said that human beings entered the era of vitamins from the era of antibiotics. But now people find that although the research on antibiotics and vitamins has been very in-depth, it can't solve modern diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and the improvement of sub-health status, let alone solve the problems of people's longevity and anti-aging, and the existence of these problems is related to the harm of free radicals to the human body. It is scientifically found that free radicals are related to more than 1 diseases, including heart disease, arteriosclerosis, phlebitis, arthritis, allergies, Alzheimer's disease, coronary heart disease and cancer. If the problem of free radicals' damage to human body is solved, then human cells can really grow freely, and the length of human life directly depends on people's ability to resist oxidation and free radicals. Improving the ability to resist oxidation and free radicals will provide more opportunities and possibilities for people to live longer and live to over 1 years old. Dr. Masquerel discovered anthocyanin, which is regarded as one of the greatest discoveries in the history of health in the 2th century. Professor EricGershiwin, director of the Department of Rheumatology, Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the University of California, Davis, said: "From the increase of these cytokine, it shows that anthocyanins are a powerful substance against intracellular pathogens and parasites." Other studies on animals also support the idea that anthocyanins help improve the body's disease resistance. The researchers studied cats and found that it can improve the ability of some cells to swallow harmful bacteria. Taking chicken as the object, it was found that the antibody reaction of chicken increased. The effect of anthocyanins on improving immunity has been recognized by the whole medical community. At Tuft's University in the United States, Dr.James Joseph once presided over a famous animal experiment. After letting the old rats eat fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, strawberries and spinach at the same time, the results showed that the motor nerve function, memory and cognition all got higher scores, among which blueberries were the most effective. Blueberries are rich in natural antioxidants (phytochemical), which can resist oxidative stress, delay the aging of nerve cells and avoid being damaged by oxides. The more exciting discovery in the study is that some memory and coordination defects caused by aging can be reversed by supplementing blueberry extract rich in natural antioxidants. Blueberry fruit is rich in nutrition and health care ingredients, which makes blueberry developed and produced as nutrition and health care fruit all over the world. According to the research of American, Japanese and European scientists, regular consumption of blueberry products can obviously enhance vision and eliminate eye fatigue; Nourishing skin; Delaying cranial nerve aging; Has therapeutic effect on capillary diseases caused by diabetes; Enhance heart function; Prevent Alzheimer's disease.

3. Improving eyesight

Medical clinical reports show that anthocyanins in blueberries can promote the regeneration of Rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and improve eyesight. Anthocyanin can improve vision in dim light; This is helpful for drivers at night, people who stare at the screen for a long time, etc. The reason why anthocyanins are good for eyes has attracted extensive research by scientists is that during World War II, pilots of the Royal Air Force were rationed with blueberries before carrying out night bombing missions. Studies have shown that anthocyanins in blueberries can accelerate the regeneration of rhodopsin and promote visual acuity, which is a great help for pilots who often need to fly visually and have strict vision requirements. After the war, people's research on blueberries expanded to the protection of blood vessels and other areas. Anthocyanosides, which are rich in blueberry ripe berries, are widely used in many situations, including scurvy, urinary system infection, kidney calculi's disease, atherosclerosis, cataract, macular degeneration, night blindness, retinopathy, varicose veins and angiopathy in patients with long-term diabetes. First of all, medical scientists found that most of the eye problems are caused by the conditions of retina, eyeball bone glue and eyeball pressure. The occurrence of these conditions can be traced back to the problem of blood circulation in the eyes. With the increase of age, metabolism deterioration and excessive use of eyes, free radicals in the body are destroyed, blood circulation is poor, and microvascular permeability of the eyes is abnormal. Therefore, when the eyeball, which belongs to one of the peripheral organs, does not get enough nutrients, the bone glue of the eyeball will decrease, which will further affect the elasticity of the eyeball, making it easy to deform and decrease its elasticity, resulting in abnormal vision. Poor blood circulation will make body fluids accumulate in the eyeball and cause abnormal pressure, which will lead to excessive increase of intraocular pressure, which will lead to eye pain and acidity, and even more serious will cause eye tissue damage, leading to glaucoma and cataract. Therefore, the unique antioxidant components of anthocyanins in blueberries are used to maintain the integrity of blood vessels, strengthen the elasticity of microvessels, promote blood circulation, and maintain normal eyeball pressure, so as to relieve a wide range of eye problems. Anthocyanin is a powerful antioxidant, which can maintain normal cell connection, stabilize blood vessels, promote micro-vascular circulation and improve the flow of microvessels and veins. There are more than 15 kinds of anthocyanins in the ripe purple-black berries of blueberries, which can effectively inhibit the enzymes that destroy eye cells, which also explains why blueberries are beneficial to eye health. Therefore, blueberries are especially suitable for students, drivers and others.

4. Oral skin cosmetics

Anthocyanin is called "oral skin cosmetics" in Europe, which can prevent the premature formation of skin wrinkles and is the most effective antioxidant in nature at present. It can not only prevent the premature generation of skin wrinkles
