6. Help Control Metabolic Syndrome
Bilberries contain nutrients that help reduce blood glucose levels. Insulin resistance is a health condition that can lead to metabolic disorders, including pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. When the body is resistant to insulin, glucose cannot efficiently diffuse into our cells, and blood sugar levels remain high. Chronic high blood sugar from diabetes can result in damage to the nerves, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels. Not only can bilberry improve your cells' sensitivity to insulin, but it can also reduce the effects of diabetes on circulation and vision.
