Happy Blueberry Month!

The benefits of blueberries are far more than being packed with antioxidants. Blueberries, also, fight disease on multiple levels.
Shield® is Omnitrition's® innovatively produced antioxidant. Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radical damage may lead to cancer, heart disease, as well as, other diseases.
Probably you have heard that cranberry juice helps fight urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice, as long as it isn’t loaded with sugar, really works against common urinary tract infections. The problem is that it sometimes triggers allergic reactions in the aspirin-sensitive, and cranberry extracts really aren’t safe in children under the age of 3. Fortunately, blueberries, including blueberry juice, also fight urinary tract infections, and they are safe for young children as well as people who are sensitive to aspirin. Another benefit of blueberries is that they are sweet without added sugar. Blueberries, also, help your brain. Blueberry antioxidants activate two brain-protective enzymes, catalase & superoxide dismutase. These are the enzymes that help neurons from being “deactivated” after they are attacked by free radicals. Scientists at the Montreal Diabetes Research Center & the University of Montreal in Canada believe that blueberry juice helps treat people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and age-related memory problems.
Omnitrition's Remind® is Complete Brain Nutrition You Won't Soon Forget! Omnitrition's Remind® is formulated to provide a healthy amount of Choline to support optimal memory. Choline and the rest of Remind's® ingredients, including vitamins & minerals, is what the brain uses to make the primary neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is involved with verbal function, the ability to write, read & verbal memory. A good example of what happens when the cholinergic system in the brain fails is what you see in Alzheimer's disease. It, also, has pyroglutamic acid to support memory & communication between both lobes of the brain and DMAE, which helps maintain mental focus & clarity of thought.

If you eat too much blueberries, your digestive tract is going to slow down to handle all the pectin. It is recommended that a 1/4 cup of blueberries for children each day is sufficient, and 1 cup for adults.
