Blueberries are often labeled a super food because they are low in calories and incredibly good for you, and they fit perfectly into an anti-inflammatory lifestyle.  They are sweet, colorful and can be enjoyed either fresh or frozen. Because eating blueberries can help lower blood pressure, promote digestive health, reduce the risk of heart disease and fight cancer they are a perfect addition to your anti-inflammatory lifestyle. The blueberry is celebrated throughout July, at the peak of it’s harvest, during National Blueberry Month.
