“Berries are the best choice for those who want to maintain their health for decades.”
Medianews.az reports that this was stated by American scientist Emily Conston.
According to the specialist, although blueberries are especially preferred for their antioxidant content, all berries are beneficial. The main rule is to consume them regularly and in sufficient amounts.
The main advantages of berries are:
- Fighting inflammation: Phytochemicals such as flavonoids protect heart and brain health.
- Brain function: Regular consumption during middle age can improve cognitive ability and reduce the risk of dementia.
- Digestion and blood sugar: Normalizes digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and may reduce “bad” cholesterol.
- Vitamins and minerals: Vitamins C and K, potassium, and magnesium support immunity and proper blood flow.
- Healthy alternative: People consume a lot of sweets. The natural sugar in berries is considered a healthier choice.
The researcher recommends consuming at least five servings of fruit, vegetables, and berries daily. Combining them with whole grains, healthy fats, and lean protein is more beneficial.
Adding berries to the diet is very easy:
- with oatmeal or yogurt in the morning,
- in smoothies,
- in salads,
- or as a separate snack.
Experts believe that this simple habit can play an important role in long-term health.
