7 Reasons Why Berries Are Among the Healthiest Foods on Earth

Writer's picture: Calvin De JongCalvin De Jong



1. Loaded with antioxidants

Berries contain many antioxidants, which help keep free radicals under control in your body. Antioxidants are a great way to stay young.


2. High in fiber

Berries are a good source of fiber, including soluble fiber. Studies show that consuming soluble fiber slows down the movement of food through your digestive tract, leading to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness.




3. Help fight inflammation

Berries have strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Inflammation is your body's defense against infection or injury.



4. May help lower cholesterol levels

Black raspberries and strawberries have been shown to help lower cholesterol in people who are obese or have metabolic syndrome.



5. May help protect against cancer

Several antioxidants in berries, including anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and resveratrol, may reduce cancer risk.








6. May be good for your skin

Berries may help reduce skin wrinkling, as their antioxidants help control free radicals, one of the leading causes of skin damage that contributes to aging.





7. Make great dishes for your family

Berries add great flavours to yogurt, smoothies, ice cream or juices plus they look great on a plate :)
