How is the blueberries smoothie good for your health?

  • Good for the heart: The absence of cholesterol from blueberries is beneficial to the heart. In addition, the presence of fiber in both bananas (fiber is both soluble and insoluble) and blueberries reduce the amount of cholesterol in blood, thus decreasing the risk of heart disease. Potassium regulates heartbeat and blood pressure and keeps the brain proactive.
    The high iron content in spinach and banana also improves anemia.
  • Prevents cancer: Vitamin E in almond milk is a powerful antioxidant that fights inflammation and stress in the body and is also known to prevent cancer.
    Blueberries are believed to contain the highest number of antioxidants. They protect the body from free radicals and unstable molecules that can damage cellular structures and contribute to aging and cancer.
  • Improves bone health: The high calcium content is important for bone health, including the prevention of fractures and osteoporosis.
  • Improves digestion and prevents diarrhea: Bananas help in gaining lost nutrients and are also part of the BRAT diet recommended during diarrhea.
  • Solves problems of the kidney: High levels of phosphorus and potassium.
  • Increases energy: Vitamin B and magnesium in spinach and banana help support metabolism.
