What make blueberries such a super antioxidant?

It’s all attributed to anthocyanins that give blueberries it’s beautiful purple pigment. Anthocyanins are antioxidant flavonoids that protect against some common health problems, and possibly certain effects of aging. One of the signs of aging in the human body is the accumulation of oxidative damage to cells. Our body constantly reacts with oxygen as we breathe, and our cells produce energy. As a consequence of this activity, highly reactive molecules are produced known as free radicals. When free radicals interact with other molecules within the cells, this can cause oxidative damage which can lead to conditions such as alzheimer’s, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
