Blueberry, useful for the eyes
Blueberry ( Vaccinium Myrtillus ) is a shrub-like plant of the Ericaceae family, with oval or elliptical leaves, pinkish-white hanging flowers, and berries-like fruits.
It is possible to use more parts of the blueberry, not only the fruits, but the leaves or meristematic parts, all rich in phytocomplexes, usable in different fields.
The berries of the blueberry, in particular, contain many organic acids, sugars, tannins, pectin, vitamins A, C and, to a lesser extent, vitamin B.
The anthocyanins present are able to inhibit the activity of some enzymes that destroy the collagen and elastic tissues of the capillaries and vessels of the circulatory system. In addition, they promote and increase the speed of regeneration of the retinal purpura (rhodopsin) of the eyes, which is the pigment of the retina, essential for vision in low light conditions, sharpening sight especially in the evening, when there is little light.
The blueberries, therefore, are really effective to prevent macular degeneration, hypermetropia, cataract or myopia.
