    Blueberries do not replace carbohydrate, protein or sleep for recovery, but may improve how the body handles the aftermath of demanding exercise.

    Their wordsSo obviously I'm not saying that blueberries replace carbohydrates during prolonged exercise. They're not going to replace adequate protein after resistance training or sleep.

    Blueberry polyphenols act less as antioxidants and more as signaling molecules.

    Their wordsWhat ties these effects together is that blueberry polyphenols are not only acting as antioxidants that mop up free radicals. Anthocyanins and their metabolites function like signaling molecules.
