What Happens When You Eat Blueberries Every Day?
Blueberries are typically available year-round because they’re so popular in the U.S. We’ve been adding them to everything from smoothies and oatmeal, to muffins and yogurt parfaits. Beyond their sweet, addictive flavor and freezer-friendly appeal, blueberries have also built a reputation as one of the most accessible superfoods.
But what actually happens if you eat blueberries every day? (We assume some of you already do!) We asked registered dietitians which aspects of your health benefit most when you make blueberries a regular part of your diet. Here’s what’s actually inside blueberries, and what your body may experience on a molecular level if you make them a daily habit.
Blueberries Nutrition: Blueberries are so convenient that many people already eat them fairly regularly. One study found that about 61% of consumers report eating blueberries weekly. They’re nutrient-dense, easy to grab and go, and contain plant compounds you won’t get from a multivitamin.
