Effects of a Blueberry Enriched Diet on the Skeletal Muscle Regenerative Process

The blueberry intervention will consist of participants ingesting two servings of 19 g freeze dried blueberry powder (equivalent to 250 g whole blueberries) daily for six weeks. Subjects will ingest the freeze dried blueberries orally. Freeze dried blueberry powder will be mixed with 8-10 ounces of water and consumed. Subjects will be asked to rinse the cup to wash any remaining blueberries off of the cup and consume the rinse water. Subjects will be given a two week supply at baseline (week 0) and a four week supply when they return for their blood draw at week 2. Subjects will be asked to return empty packets and check-off daily records as a measure of compliance.
