7. Prevent Cancerous Growths
Chronic inflammation is thought to cause several types of cancer. The anti-inflammatory properties of bilberries can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of colon and breast cancer. The antioxidants in bilberries help manage the amount of free radical molecules in the body that attack healthy cells, damaging them and inhibiting the creation of new cells. Free radicals are known to cause cancerous growths; choosing a diet with a lot of antioxidant-rich foods like bilberries can reduce your cancer risk.
