Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, low in calories but nutrient dense. Along with fibre they are full of Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Manganese. Ayurveda calls Blueberries Pitta pacifying. They are anti inflammatory and good for both eye health and benefit the liver by reducing liver enzymes. Blueberries are rich in beta carotene which also stimulates the liver. Walnuts are rich in an amino acid called Arginine supporting the liver in cleansing ammonia. So walnuts detox the liver while increasing the production of bile.
