Dear Living Fuel Family,
How remarkable that the most nutritious foods are the most colorful such as brightly colored fruits and vegetables-red bell peppers, green kale, yellow bananas, orange oranges and blue blueberries! WILD BLUEBERRIES are one of the most nutrient dense fruits on earth, rich in nourishing flavonoids and phytochemicals. In fact, the USDA Human Nutrition Center ranks blueberries as number one in antioxidant activity compared with 40 other fruits and vegetables.Here are some other interesting facts about these nutritional powerhouses:
- Wild blueberries, unlike cultivated blueberries, are not planted, but grown on low bushes naturally in Maine, Atlantic Canada, and Quebec.
- Wild blueberries are one of only three berries native to North America (the others are Concord grapes and cranberries).
- Wild blueberries, smaller and more compact than cultivated blueberries, also contain more of the powerful antioxidants anthocyanins.
- Wild blueberries are low in sugar and calories, high in fiber, and contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, zinc, potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium.
- In a study published in an issue of the medical journal Circulation, the Harvard School of Public Health showed that women who ate at least three servings of blueberries and strawberries per week had significantly fewer heart attacks. These berries contain high levels of flavonoids andanthocyanins that have shown positive cardiovascular benefits in previous research studies.
Wild, organic freeze-dried powdered wild blueberries are a key ingredient in Living Fuel’s revolutionary LivingFuel SuperBerry® Ultimate and SuperBerry® Original functional whole-meal superfoods. Wild blueberries are picked at the peak of ripeness and nutrient density, and their nutritional potency is quickly locked-in by proprietary freeze-drying. Remember, when you purchase “fresh” organic berries from your local grocer, they are usually picked as much as two weeks prior, and lose their nutritional potency on the long journey from bush to shelf. SuperBerry Ultimate contains an incredible 14,000mg per serving of our remarkable berry complex of organic wild blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries (SuperBerry Original contains 13,750mg per serving). Like most fruits, berries are largely water, so these amounts are the equivalent of approximately 100g of whole berries. Compare these amounts to tiny fraction of berries you’ll find hidden in other “berry” products.Enjoy wild blueberries along with over 60 other superfoods, vitamins, minerals, herbs, antioxidants, enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics in a great-tasting whole meal functional superfood blend. It’s truly “living” fuel!
SuperHealth to you,
