Health Benefits of Blueberries
Health benefits of blueberries are understated but plentiful. Blueberries are high in nutrients and low in calories. Whether frozen or dried, adding blueberries to your daily diet can go such a long way to helping you get healthy.

‘Though profound, the health benefits of blueberries are not well-known among the low income population.’

Previous studies have shown that blueberries are rich in healthy anti-oxidant substances, which could help prevent Alzheimer's, an increasingly common form of dementia effects such as decline in cognitive skills and memory.

The researchers wanted to determine the consumer's knowledge about blueberry health benefits and see if there is a knowledge gap with blueberry health benefits among demographic groups.

They found that the low-income populations tend to know less about blueberry health benefits than the high-income groups.
