Are Blueberries Really As Healthy As They’re Claimed to Be?

Blueberries-Fresh vs Frozen

Blueberries pack a powerful punch of nutrients and health benefits. Brimming with antioxidants and phytochemicals, blueberries can boost brain and heart health, combat cancer, manage diabetes, and even protect your skin. But they can also be expensive, especially fresh. Are they worth the cost? Are they okay to eat frozen? And should you worry about pesticides?

(Tom: Although Goji Berries have 10 times and cacao has 40 times the antioxidant power . That’s why one of the tastiest and most antioxidant snack you can have is here: https://www.healthelicious.com.au/ChocoFruit-Slice.html Or if you prefer Macadamia Nuts, try this one:  https://www.healthelicious.com.au/ChocolateAndMacadamiaRockyRoadSlice.html

You and CoQ10

If you do intense exercise you might be interested in a short exchange I had today with Grok on behalf of a client.

Got a mate who runs marathons. He has two scheduled within a space of 6 weeks. I know marathons strain the heart so I asked if he took CoQ10. He said no, what is it? In 500 words or less, please help me answer his question with particular reference to his level of exertion.

Grok.com replied:

CoQ10, or Coenzyme Q10, is a naturally occurring compound in your body that acts like a vitamin. It’s essential for producing energy in cells (via ATP) and functions as a powerful antioxidant, protecting against cellular damage from free radicals.

Your heart relies heavily on CoQ10 because it’s an energy-intensive organ. Intense exercise like marathons increases oxidative stress and inflammation, which can strain the heart muscle and deplete CoQ10 levels. Running two marathons in just six weeks amps up this demand—your body faces cumulative fatigue, muscle damage, and potential cardiovascular stress from repeated high exertion.

Studies show CoQ10 supplementation may help athletes by reducing oxidative stress, boosting antioxidant activity, and lowering inflammation markers like TNF-a and IL-6 in runners. It could improve heart health, regulate blood pressure, reduce fatigue, and enhance recovery, allowing better performance and less strain during back-to-back events. For endurance athletes, it’s linked to better physical output and metabolism support.

Typical doses for athletes range from 100-300 mg daily, often in ubiquinol form for better absorption. However, benefits vary; it’s not a magic pill. If you’re on statins or have heart issues, CoQ10 might interact—always consult a doctor before starting. Overall, for your marathon schedule, it could be a smart addition to support heart resilience and energy.

Dr. Howard Kelly

Dr. Howard Kelly

Young Howard Kelly was an orphan poor, hungry, and alone.
To survive and pay for school, he walked from house to house selling small goods.
One day, starving and with not a single cent in his pocket, he decided to knock on a door to ask for food.
But when a young woman opened it, her beauty and kindness made him hesitate.
Embarrassed to ask for a meal, he nervously said:
“Could I please have… a glass of water?”
The woman noticed his condition and returned with a large glass of milk.
He drank it slowly, savoring every sip.
“How much do I owe you?” he asked.
She smiled.
“You owe me nothing. My mother taught me never to take payment for kindness.”
Howard thanked her with all his heart.
But her kindness didn’t just fill his stomach it restored his faith in humanity.
Years passed.
The young woman grew up and faced a serious illness that local doctors couldn’t cure.
She was transferred to a major city for treatment. Among the consulting specialists was Dr. Howard Kelly now one of the country’s top physicians and a co-founder of Johns Hopkins Medical School.
When he heard the name of her hometown, his face lit up. He personally visited her hospital room and immediately recognized her.
Yes. It was her the same girl who had once offered him that glass of milk.
The diagnosis was grim. But Dr. Kelly wouldn’t give up.
Driven by memory and gratitude, he dedicated himself to saving her life.
After months of treatment and care, she recovered.
When the hospital sent her the bill, she hesitated. She knew she could never afford it.
But as she unfolded the envelope, something caught her eye at the bottom of the page a handwritten note under the word “Amount due.”
It read:
“Paid in full… with one glass of milk.”
Dr. Howard Kelly
Tears filled her eyes. Her heart overflowed with gratitude.
This is not a fable or a fictional tale.
Dr. Howard Kelly (1858–1943) was a real person a pioneering physician and one of the founding doctors of Johns Hopkins University.
Kindness doesn’t vanish. Sometimes it circles back in the most unexpected, life-saving ways.

Steven Bartlett Interviews Simon Mills

Steven Bartlett Interviews Simon Mills

He exposed the top herbal medicines that Big Pharma has been hiding from you.

99% of people would never know this.

Until now…

One reviewer picked his top 8 takeaways:

1. Your Gut Runs the Show – Not Your Brain

You have more bacteria in your gut than human cells in your body.

These microbes control your immune system, brain function, and overall health.

No side effects. Just heat healing from the inside out.

2. Antibiotics Are Creating a Health Crisis

Antibiotic resistance kills 1.27 million people annually.

30% of prescriptions aren’t even needed – especially for viral infections.

Each dose creates resistant bacteria while destroying your protective gut flora.

3. Ginger + Cinnamon Beat Most Cold Medicines

Fresh grated ginger with cinnamon in hot water works within minutes.

It opens blood vessels, loosens mucus, and fights infection naturally.

No side effects. Just heat healing from the inside out.

4. Garlic Is “Russian Penicillin“ for a Reason

Raw garlic has powerful antibiotic properties that support good bacteria.

Dr. Mills’ “garlic intensive“: 8 cloves over 4 hours on a Friday night.

One weekend treatment can reset your entire microbiome.

5. The Most Prescribed Drug Is Barely Needed

Omeprazole (for acid reflux) is handed out like candy.

It shuts down stomach acid that protects you from infections.

Simple mucus-forming plants like slippery elm work just as well without the risks.

6. Dark Chocolate Is Actually Medicine

75%+ dark chocolate improves brain and heart health within hours.

It increases blood flow to the brain and reduces cardiovascular risk.

Dr. Mills prescribes 50g daily as actual medicine to his patients.

7. Green Tea Prevents Alzheimer’s

The polyphenols cross the blood-brain barrier and protect against cognitive decline.

Regular green tea drinkers have significantly lower dementia rates.

Matcha is even more powerful than regular green tea.

8. Inflammation Isn’t the Enemy – It’s Your Defense

We suppress inflammation with ibuprofen instead of asking WHY it’s there.

Most chronic inflammation starts in the gut from poor diet.

Fix the root cause with plants, not pills that shut down your body’s defenses.

Dr Ben Marble On The Contaminated Blood Supply

Dr Ben Marble

Dr. Ben Marble is fired up about what he is seeing:

“The entire blood supply in America, and basically the whole world, is contaminated with the spike protein poison bioweapon.”

“We need to quit accepting blood from people who took the poison.”

“We’re seeing patients that get blood transfusions that are unvaccinated and suddenly they get blood clots or have heart attacks or strokes.”
