As we age our ability to absorb and utilise nutrients can change. Because of this, along with many others, I have been particularly interested in how we go about accessing the most nutritionally dense foods for those in aged care. As their name would suggest, superfoods carry higher concentrations of available nutrients and as the body ages and our ability to uptake nutrients is affected, the idea of nutrient dense foods becomes even more important. There are many foods that fall under this banner, but one that I’ve been particularly interested in is the blueberry. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants which help guard our bodies from damage by free radicals that contribute to ageing and diseases such as cancer, heart disease and other neurological diseases. They're also a great course of Vitamin C and fibre. -MB
