BLUEBERRY BONUS

Blueberries are a good addition to a dairy-free Paleo diet—besides all of their other benefits, 1 cup (145 g) of blueberries provides a surprising 36 percent of the bone-strengthening vitamin K you need daily.

One cup (145 g) of blueberries contains impressive amounts of potent antioxidants including vitamin C (24 percent of your daily requirement), the trace mineral manganese (25 percent of what you need daily), and the anthocyanins that give them their deep blue hue. They also contain smaller amounts of vitamin A, copper, zinc, and selenium, offering a wide spectrum of antioxidant protection. In fact, by some measures, blueberries contain more antioxidants than any other fruit! These antioxidants keep your immune system working properly, protect your cardiovascular system, reduce your risk of cancer, stave off cognitive decline (see below), quell harmful inflammation, and essentially slow down the aging process. Not bad for a simple bowl of berries!
