Welcome to WhyAgel.com your resource for Agel information.
The Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) is very closely related to the Bilberry of northern Europe and to the Cranberry of North America. It is one of the few fruits native to North America. It has been used by the native Americans for centuries as a tasty food source and as a medicinal aid. Like it’s relatives, the blueberry is a rich source of the phenolic antioxidant called anthocyanin, as well as potassium, calcium, vitamins A, C, and E, folic acid, and fiber. It is reported by researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center (HNRCA) that blueberries have higher antioxidant capacity than 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables.
Recent animal research indicates that blueberries may be beneficial in slowing the process of age-related mental decline, possibly a result of the high antioxidant capacity of the anthocyanins that are so prevalent in this fruit. Also a result of this important compound, blueberries may help reduce the build up LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and thus help prevent heart disease and strokes. Also like its close relative, the bilberry, the blueberry may play a role in improving eyesight and reducing eye strain.
Just like many of the Vaccinium berries (bilberry, cranberry) the blueberry contains another biologically active substance called resveratrol. This compound has been found to suppress tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis (programmed tumor cell death) in selected cancer cell lines. Resveratrol also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well.
Although the blueberry is not a cure–all, it does contain biologically important substances may help us to live better and healthier lives. It is an important component of Agel EXO, and it contributes synergistically with the other 13 exotic fruits and herbs to create a supplement with exceptional health–enhancing properties.
