Recent Clinical Evidence on Blueberries & Our Health

The People's Scientist

My oat blueberry muffins inspired today's episode! I pondered as I baked this week, I wonder what the recent clinical evidence says about blueberries? Jump into today's episode with me as I cover recent clinical trials from the last 2-3 years that investigated the impact of 1/3 to 1 cup of blueberries daily on inflammation, arthritis, antioxidant status, heart health, metabolic syndrome, cognition, and mood.

My Oat Blueberry Muffin Recipe:

1 cup of rolled oats

1/2 cup of any milk (I used almond milk. Soak the oats in milk for 10-20 minutes)

1/2 cup of honey

1 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour

1 large egg

1/3 cup of butter

1/3 cup of apple sauce

1 1/2 cups of frozen blueberries

1 tsp of cinnamon

1 tsp of vanilla extract

1 tsp of baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp of salt

Bake at 350 degrees for about 18-23 minutes. Although heat may degrade some of the antioxidants in blueberries, so eating fresh/frozen/freeze dried might be the best way to get those antioxidants. But I still love these muffins! :)
