Fruit facts
Bilberry enhances night vision
Dr chiranjit parmar
  Bilberry (Vaccicinium myrtillus) is a small-sized dark coloured fruit native to temperate Europe. These fruits contain flavonoid anthocyanosides. These super-antioxidants promote the regeneration of the purple pigment used by the rods in eyes for night vision. So bilberry is said to improve the night vision. During the World War II, the Royal Air Force pilots were given bilberries in their meals for improving their night vision. Anthocyanosides can also help in improving dental health, hair, skin besides eyes. These substances can also help to ward off diabetes and cancer. They also improve cardiovascular health.
