After women ate more than a cup of blueberries, researchers couldn’t find hardly any anthocyanins, the fruit’s blue pigments purported to be the beneficial active ingredients, in their bloodstream or flowing through their urine. How can blueberries have so many amazing effects if their anthocyanins barely even make it into our system?

Researchers decided to radioactively tag anthocyanins and trace them throughout the body to find out. They discovered that blueberry pigments are metabolized by our liver and our microbiome (the good bacteria in our gut) into active metabolites that are then absorbed into our system.

Some of the metabolites peak in the bloodstream within an hour of consumption, but others ramp up more slowly, especially if the berries have to make it all the way down into the colon. So, if you track the metabolites even further, some spike even higher between 6 to 24 hours after consumption. (See the chart at 4:09 https://buff.ly/2k0DnvP.)

A day later, we may still be experiencing berry benefits as our gut bacteria continue to churn out goodies that get absorbed back into our system, feeding us as we feed them. Eating blueberries is like taking a natural probiotic. Win-win all around.

You can eat your blueberries raw or cooked, as researchers saw the same remarkable improvement in artery function with blueberries baked into a bun.

The fructose found naturally in fruits is packaged with fiber and antioxidants, which may help to explain why people experience positive health benefits when they eat fruits. Adding berries to a meal can help blunt an insulin spike from high glycemic foods, for instance. The fiber in fruits can help slow the release of the sugar, and fruit phytonutrients can help inhibit the transportation of sugar into our intestinal walls and bloodstream.

Similarly, the fat found in whole plant-based foods comes packaged with health-promoting nutrients, such as fiber and phytonutrients. Nuts can help lower cholesterol and oxidation, as well as improve our arterial function and blood sugar levels. Just a few small servings of nuts a week may increase our lifespan and lower our cancer risk. Removing saturated animal fat from our diet and substituting in avocados may lead to a significant drop in cholesterol and triglycerides. However, simply adding avocado without also reducing saturated animal fat intake does not appear to result in any benefits to cholesterol. Talk to your doctor about your cholesterol-lowering options.
