I will never understand, in a world like ours, with all its backstabbing and karma and whatnot, how a cup of blueberries, topped with honey, can actually be good for you.
I first heard about this when Karissa’s dad told me about a guy he knew, over 90 and still thinking, mind still functioning, who attributed it all the bowl of blueberries he had every morning. I figured, hell, I love fruit—how about I use this as a good excuse to always have blueberries on hand?
Wasn’t ‘til I started seriously looking that I discovered it was an proven fact, blueberries make you live longer. So does honey. Combining the two, the blueberry frozen, the honey unpasturized, keeps your brain fresh and your guts working.
Again I ask, with the Devil’s handiwork all around us, how can there be something so pure and wonderful as this?
Since you plan on living to 200, I better start with the blueberry + honey elixir if I hope to keep up!
A year ago I had a pretty good routine of making smooties with frozen blueberries, banana, no fat yogurt and honey for breakfast. I’ve since substituted the blueberries for strawberries because it tasted a bit better but I think I’ll have to switch it up once in a while and include blueberries again.
