Anti-Aging Skin Therapy - Anthocyanins in Blueberries and Strawberries

Blueberries provide the most powerful anti-oxidant capabilities of any fruit or vegetable.

Anthocyanins are the antioxidants with a purple-red hue which give blueberries their distinctive color.

The anti-inflammatory effects of antioxidants play a key role in mitigating the free radical damage which needs to be minimized in genuinely effective anti-aging skin therapy.

Strawberries and raspberries also provide anthocyanins, although in lesser quantity.

Blueberries also contain pterostilbene, another natural anti-oxidant which may lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
