"Grab These Organic Blueberries to Slow Aging and More"
I recommend almost all vegetables wholeheartedly, as you can review in my recommended vegetables list. When it comes to fruits, though, I urge more moderation and careful selection.
When I am asked to recommend one type of fruit overall, my answer is berries. They are some of the healthiest fruits on the planet, in part because they haven't been hybridized into giant fruits full of sugar. They are instead small and densely packed with a variety of potent phytochemicals that can do wonders to support your health. And easily one of the best berries on the planet, absolutely loaded with antioxidants, is the blueberry. As I state in my book, Dr. Mercola's Total Health Program:
"Blueberries are quite low in sugar compared to other fruits yet pack some of the most powerful antioxidant properties of all fruits and vegetables. In addition to preventing heart disease, cancer and other diseases, they've been shown to slow the aging process, especially in the brain."

New Research Shows Wild Blueberries are the #1 Fruit!
In the June 2004 issue of Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry researchers used a technique called oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) to test the antioxidant power of more than 100 different kinds of fruits, vegetables, nuts and spices. In a laboratory testing, wild blueberries emerged as the top antioxidant capacity fruit– and overall were second only to Mexican red beans!
For the first time, in this antioxidant study, the USDA evaluated both wild (lowbush) and cultivated (highbush) blueberries and found that wild surpassed its cultivated cousins by 48%. Scientists attribute the high antioxidant capacity of Wild Blueberries to anthocyanin, the phytonutrient responsible for the berry's deep blue color.
The official standings of this study are listed below...
- Small red beans (dried), also known as Mexican red beans
- Blueberries (wild)
- Red kidney beans
- Pinto beans
- Blueberries (cultivated)
- Cranberries
- Artichokes (cooked)
- Blackberries
- Prunes
- Raspberries

- Strawberries
- Red Delicious apples
- Granny Smith apples
- Pecans
- Cherries
- Black plums
- Russet potatoes (cooked)
- Black beans (dried)
- Red plums
- Gala apples
