Berries provide some of the most vibrant and nutrient-dense foods on the planet, yet are difficult for us to get daily in the variety our bodies need.
High in antioxidants (think "anti-aging"), packed with cancer-fighting micro-nutrition and anti-inflammatory, it's no wonder berries are practically superheroes in disguise.
Think bright reds and purples! Raspberries are among the healthiest with only 5.4g sugar per cup, strawberries come in at 7.4g sugar per cup and blueberries at 15g sugar per cup! Elderberries however, NO SUGAR at all, but hard to find in many areas.
Late in the 1980s, scientists discovered that ellagic acid (found in many fruits and vegetables) interrupted the formation of tumors. Berries were found to be especially high in ellagic acid and other disease-fighting compounds like anthocyanins.
Pomegranates are very special, too. They are primarily grown throughout Asia and the Mediterranean region. A very unique fruit, pomegranates house berry-like seeds inside, packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties of their own! The phytonutrient density of this food suggests a broad range of applications for treating and preventing cancers and other debilitating conditions. Let's take a look at a few of the documented benefits of this amazing fruit!
* Reduces excessive blood clotting and atherosclerosis, both factors leading to heart attacks and strokes
* Stimulates serotonin, improving symptoms of depression
* Improves overall heart health - patients with severe carotid artery blockages who consumed less than 1oz of pomegranate juice daily for 1 year reduced their blood pressure by over 20% while reducing atherosclerotic plaque by 30%.
