All About Berries
All whole fruits are excellent sources of nutrients, but berries stand out from the pack. Fresh berries can give your memory a boost as well as protect your body against cancer and heart disease.
Berries contain antioxidants such as anthocyanin, which has triple the power of vitamin C and is known to block cancer-causing damage and the effects of many age-related diseases.
Fresh berries are better than dried if you're watching your weight, because the fresh berries' water content makes them more filling, and the vitamins are at their peak when the berries are freshly picked.
Strawberries rank with oranges in terms of vitamin C content and are a real immunity booster. Other great choices are raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
