Berries are rich in antioxidants – some of the most potent allies in the fight against free radicals. These valuable compounds are essential for the body to counteract aging processes (oxidation) and cope with continuous health challenges.
The deep purple, blue, and almost black hues of berries are a sign of their rich content of polyphenols, known as anthocyanins and anthocyanidins. They also contain dimethylresveratrol and dozens of other phytochemicals, amino acids, coenzymes, and biologically active compounds, many of which have not yet been discovered and studied by science. These beneficial substances are found in larger quantities and are more easily absorbed in berries than in any other food.
Berries also contain unique compounds that help the body cope with the effects of excessive adrenaline release and protect organs from damage. This makes blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, elderberries, schisandra, and other similar fruits especially valuable for health. Wild-growing berries are particularly rich in substances with rejuvenating and body-strengthening properties, and wild blueberries hold a special place among them.
According to information from the Medical Medium, berries are true brain food. In addition to supporting processes related to vitamin B12, they help repair various damages in the brain, including lesions, calcifications, heavy metal accumulations, scars, and other changes. Also, berries can be a useful part of the diet for various neurological symptoms and conditions.
Berries also support the cardiovascular system by helping to maintain healthy heart valves and blood vessels. Furthermore, they are believed to have a beneficial effect on reproductive health.
How to include them in your menu?
Consume berries on their own as a light snack or add them to your daily menu. They combine wonderfully with raw honey, smoothies, fruit salads, homemade fruit ice cream, and various dressings.
Wild blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and other berries are not only delicious but also among the most valuable foods that nature offers us. They are among the most powerful allies for maintaining brain, nervous system, and overall health.
