Are Blueberries on your grocery list? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Blueberries have long been recognized as a superfood. This sweet little treat is nature’s way of filling the body with flavonoids – meaning they are full of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Not only will they help you maintain good health and your youth, new research shows that they may become part of cancer treatment regimens. A new study from the School of Medicine at the University of Missouri-Columbia found that mixing blueberries with radiation treatment had astounding results. When cancer cells were treated with radiation alone, the number of cancer cells decreased by 20%. When the treatment was combined with blueberry extract – cancer cells fell by 70%! There is so many great studies out there. And this Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you today by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
