Lately I have noticed tons of media talking about anti-oxidants.  I have seen it on tv, heard it on the radio, and I’ve even seen lots of products popping up all over the place saying that their product is full of anti-oxidants.  I know that they are good for you, but I just wonder why.  There are a lot of magic juices that I’ve heard a lot about too.  A couple of weeks ago I was watching an episode of Good Eats on The Food Network and Alton Brown focused on blueberries.  I love how he is kind of quirky but he is always very informant at the same time!  

Anyway, he talked about blueberries and how they are full of anti-oxidants and are a “magic food.”  He said that if everyone at a handful of blueberries a day, then we would most likely live longer and they specifically have health benefits for eyes. So, I did a little research of blueberries here, and found out that blueberries actually slow age! How awesome is that? I also found out that blueberries also help with the urinary tract and they reduce the risk of bacteria and problems. That is also great!
