Why blueberries are beneficial
According to the doctor, the benefit of blueberries lies in them being a source of fiber. Additionally, by replacing regular desserts with these berries, you automatically reduce the number of calories consumed throughout the day.
Moreover, this berry contains a plant pigment anthocyanin. This substance can influence metabolism and even curb appetite. Furthermore, as previously established, blueberries can help combat visceral fat.
It's important to consider that one should choose a diet and eating regimen only after consulting with a doctor. Each product can affect the human body differently, causing allergies or other reactions. Therefore, it's essential to heed the advice of a specialist who is aware of your health condition.
