During these hot days of summer, here’s one of my go-to ice teas. Not that they weren’t refreshing last month, or any month, but many of us are experiencing temperatures over 90 degrees! I love this recipe because it’s easy, healthy and delicious, especially when paired with lemon balm tea. I can easily make a pitcher a day when the grand-kids are visiting! And if you don’t know much about the health benefits of wild blueberries, read on!

First of all, I make this summer beverage using frozen wild blueberries since it is tough to come by the “wild” ones here in Colorado. That being said, here are some of the wonderful health benefits of eating wild blueberries according to Anthony William, the well-known Medical Medium.

Wild Blueberries

Did you know that they:

Carry double the number of antioxidants of regular blueberries
Help feed good bacteria to the intestines, therefore promoting better health (since 80% of our immune system lives in the gut)
Can actually help escort “troublemakers” in the liver out of the body, unlike many other healing foods
They are made up of dozens of pigments, not yet studied or researched fully

Lemon Balm Tea

And, here’s some information on lemon balm tea.

Did you know that this herb:

Also promotes good gut health by providing a better environment with its healing properties
Calms the nerves of the liver
Destroys viruses and bacteria inside the liver
Supports the adrenal glands (our fight and flight gland) making the liver less toxic.

As you can see, the common denominators to wild blueberries and lemon balm are the intestinal tract and the liver. The liver filters blood coming out of the digestive tract, detoxifying chemicals and metabolizing drugs as it does so before entering the body. Both the intestinal tract and liver function much more efficiently when fed the right foods.
