Blueberry Health Benefits

It’s time for Wellness Wednesday ! Blueberries !

Blueberries are high in antioxidants, fiber, and nutrients. Together, these may support your skin’s ability to fight inflammation related to acne, psoriasis, eczema, and premature aging.

Nurture Glowing Skin

Blueberries are jam-packed with vitamins and antioxidants, making them an incredible natural skin treatment. To make a nourishing blueberry face mask at home, mix 1/2 cup of crushed blueberries with 1 cup plain yogurt. Apply for 20 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.

Promote Hair Growth

Craving long, luscious locks? Blueberries may be your Holy Grail! The chemicals in blueberries stimulate the hair follicles, thereby boosting hair growth. Treat your tresses to a simple DIY blueberry hair mask: Blend together 1/4 cup of blueberries, one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of honey. Liberally apply to hair and rinse out after about 20 minutes
