Energetics of Blueberries: Small but Mighty
Blueberries have been an important cultural staple for Native Americans and starting to gain popularity in the 20th century as new sweeter variants started growing. These little berries are packed full of antioxidants and vitamins for their size.
In Chinese Medicine, the 5 flavors are pungent, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. The SAD (Standard American Diet) consists primarily of just 3 of the 5 flavors. Your diet should consist of a balance of all 5 flavors for optimal health. Balance does not refer to equal amounts, but to bring the body into harmony with your own constitution and the seasonal influences.
