Good Morning,
Yes, It's true...You can actually lose weight around your mid section by adding 1/2 cup of blueberries to your diet every day. Not only will they help you get trim, but they are also high in antioxidants that help fight free radicals in your body.
"Blueberries activate a gene that is responsible for burning belly fat while also turning down a gene that stores fat," describes E. Mitchell Seymour, research scientist at the University of Michigan.
Yea! That is good news because blueberries are delicious and easy to add to your day-fresh, frozen, or dried.
The picture above shows a great way my fabulous husband makes mangoes and blueberries fun for our daughter. We call it fruit checkers. It will also impress your brunch guests!
Have fun with your fruit today!
