1. Add Blueberries to Your Breakfast
Blueberries pack a powerful nutritional punch by:
· improving your concentration and memory because they contain very high levels of antioxidants
· enhancing your mood, regulating your hormones and increasing your energy levels, due to their high level of vitamin B6
· keeping blood sugar under control because of their low glycemic load and their relatively high fiber content, which also helps you feel fuller for longer
· improving your skin and boosting your immune system because of their high vitamin C content.
