Blueberries Folk Remedy

Dried blueberries have been used for centuries as remedy in the fight against diarrhea caused by an intestinal bacteria. They are also used to combat intestinal flu; thanks to a substance called anthocyanin this substance has mild antibiotic properties. The berries contain a substance that prevents bacteria from adhering to your bladder where they multiply.

Just by adding one cup 80 calories, of blueberries to your cereal in the morning you are providing a third of the RDA for vitamin C and a considerable amount of potassium. The berries are also a natural way of supplying pectin, and soluble fiber, which are effective in lowering your cholesterol according to several studies.
