Blueberries ranked as the second most widely consumed berries in the world, next to strawberries. This only proves that blueberries are among the highly popular fruits categories. One serving of blueberries, approximately 1 cup or 148 grams contains 35.7% vitamin K, 25% manganese, 23.9% vitamin C, 14.2% fiber, and 4% calories (84). 

Apart from its popularity, blueberries consistently ranked in the US diet to be among the fruits that have high antioxidant capacities.

Antioxidants are found not only in fruits but as well as in seasonings, spices, and vegetables. Antioxidants essentially optimize health since it helps combat free radicals that are able to cause damage to cellular structures and even to DNA. It is highly recommended to eat fresh blueberries not only because they have the best flavor, but more importantly because they offer the greatest health benefits.
​

With the vast range of antioxidants found in blueberries, you can only expect to find studies showing that the body systems that require special protection from oxygen damage such as the cardiovascular system developed enhanced antioxidant defenses. However, what is astonishing about the studies on blueberries is the entire body relevance.
​
The phytonutrient content of blueberries has been the focus of most researches on blueberries. The first phytonutrients commonly mentioned as properties of blueberries are the anthocyanins. These colorful antioxidant pigments not only give a number of foods their amazing red, blue, and purple shades, they have wonderful nutrition-supportive properties as well.

Apart from the fact that anthocyanins found in blueberries are amazing phytonutrients and support for our body systems, blueberries actually contain a variety of health-promoting phytonutrients.

Daily blueberry intake of about a cup or two helps improve blood fat balances in a number of ways which include having reduced triglycerides, increased HDL cholesterol level, and lowered total cholesterol level. 
​
Apparently, blueberries are not only beneficial in terms of improving memory but also in delaying the onset of some cognitive problems that are often linked with aging.

Blueberries as well as the other berries help regulate blood sugar levels in people who are already diagnosed with blood sugar issues.

The anthocyanins in blueberries have shown to be capable of protecting the retina from oxidative stress. Moreover, anthocyanins can provide defenses for the retina from damage caused by sunlight.
​
Further, there are a growing number of researches on blueberries that focus on its cancer-fighting benefits. Cancer of the small intestine, esophageal cancer, colon cancer, and breast cancer are the types of cancer that have already been studied in connection with blueberry intake.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
