Blueberries are so small but are packed with so much goodness. They are not too sweet but so flavorful that you can easily end up eating a whole pint without noticing it.

Consuming enough fiber, both soluble and insoluble, has been shown to promote regular bowel movement in your body, a process which is critical in ensuring your body’s daily excretion of toxins through bile and stool.
