Blueberry Pie

Homemade blueberry pie sweetened only with antioxidant-rich blueberries and grape juice concentrate for a natural heart

healthy dessert. This healthy blueberry pie is full of nutrients that are good for the heart.

Blueberries are considered a "superfood" for health because these special berries contain very high amounts of antioxidants. Blueberries are ranked high in the world of antioxidants. This is mainly due to the presence of anthocyanin, a pigment giving the blueberry the blue color hue. The abundance of vitamin C is also a big contributor to the high antioxidants.

A diet rich in blueberries may help lower blood cholesterol levels while improving glucose control and insulin sensitivity. These important factors may also help lower the risk of heart disease and diabetes.

Along with the high fiber content, very powerful antioxidants and the ability to dissolve "bad cholesterol" - blueberries just might be one of the most ideal dietary supplements that may also help resolve many heart diseases. The blueberry may also help strengthen and protect the heart muscles.

This eye-pleasing, heart-healthy dessert pie is also without unhealthy refined sugars, being naturally sweetened with grape juice concentrate. Grapes and grape juice are also great for the heart.
