Athletes who eat blueberries recover faster from exercise, according to a study published in the Journal of International Society of Sports Nutrition. The New Zealand research found that eating blueberries raised the level of antioxidants in the blood which may have led to an improved rate of recovery.
The actual reasons why blueberries do this is unclear, although research leader, a=Associate Professor Steve Stannard of Massy School of Soort and Exercise explained, 'It is probably linked to the superior anthocyanin content of the Ne Zealand Blueberry fruit'.
