4. Resolves Digestive Issues
People that live with digestive disorders or diseases like Crohn’s or celiac disease may gain benefit from including bilberries in their diet. The polyphenols and antioxidants found in the superfruit reduce the symptoms of bloating, gas, and cramping associated with digestive inflammation.
When people with these conditions eat foods that don’t agree with their food allergies, the intestinal wall expands, resulting in toxins and harmful particles entering the bloodstream where they travel throughout the body. These inflammatory particles then start the onset of symptoms of sore and stiff joints in people who are suffering from arthritis.
If you experience an infection with a bacterial or viral pathogen as a result of eating tainted food at a restaurant, the vomiting symptoms can last for up to 48-hours. After the worst of the symptoms are over, try eating bilberries to get your digestive system back on track. The high vitamin and mineral content in the berries are excellent for restoring the balance of your intestinal bacteria.
