Antioxidant Blueberry Smoothie

Blueberries are a nutritional powerhouse, packed with antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which give them their deep blue color and impressive health benefits. These antioxidants help neutralise oxidative stress and combat free radicals, protecting cells from damage and slowing the aging process.

Health benefits of blueberries include:

• Supporting skin elasticity by boosting collagen production

• Protecting brain health, reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline

• Promoting heart health by reducing inflammation and lowering blood pressure

• Enhancing overall longevity with anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects

Incorporating blueberries into your diet is an easy, delicious way to keep your skin glowing and maintain long-term vitality.
