Medicinal properties If we consider blueberries as a set of valuable biologically active substances, then we can predict various pharmacological effects associated with eating them: Phytoestrogens (plant hormones) of blueberries protect against heart and vascular diseases (reduce “bad” cholesterol, delay the development of atherosclerosis) . Caffeic and chlorogenic acids have capillary-strengthening, urinary and choleretic effects. Folic and elagic acids prevent the appearance of tumors. Bioflavonoids help normalize the activity of the thyroid gland and some other endocrine glands. Betaine from blueberries exhibits antiulcer properties. In addition, betaine is known as an appetite stimulant and as an atherosclerotic and lipotropic substance that can remove fats and toxic waste products from the liver. Pectin substances prevent damage to body tissues by heavy metals and radioactive elements. Plant fibers improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Despite the great potential of the berry, not much is known today about the medicinal properties of blueberries, reliably confirmed by peer-reviewed scientific research, although work on its study is being carried out by specialists around the world. There is evidence that consuming the fruit extract of some species of this plant “corrects” insulin resistance. A recently published study of blueberry supplementation in mice reported improvements in glucose tolerance. Potentially, these properties of blueberries could be used, for example, in the treatment of diabetes in humans, but most of the effects are so far recorded in laboratory experiments.
