Blueberry Juice to hopefully combat obesity/diabetes
By Evan Bylsma
I recently read a study from www.medicalnewstoday.com which was highlighting a study using the high antioxidant and low glycemic properties of blueberry juice to help obese lab mice to lower their glycemic index.
Basically in the study the scientists included in the water they were giving these mice a solution of North American blueberry juice. This in term caused diabetic and pre-diabetic mice to eat less food and in tern drop body weight.
Also cool to note they were using something called “biotransformed” blueberry juice which has something to do with using a specific strain of bacteria to increase the antioxidant quantity of the blueberry juice.
Now for the X Gym Spin: PJ has always been a big berry fan and one of the best tasting snacks you can include in your “X Gym Approved” diet is cottage cheese and blueberries. Its almost past time to get some awesome NW fresh blueberries but thanks to places like Costco, you can grab a bag of frozen blueberries anytime and include them in everything from cottage cheese, to protein shakes and they make a great addition to just about any spinach salad.
Here’s the link to the story, hope you enjoy!
