Berries

Not only do they taste great, but berries are one of the healthiest foods to add to your diet. Loaded with antioxidants, regularly consuming berries will keep free radicals at bay and reduce oxidative stress. Blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries have the highest antioxidant levels, followed by pomegranates. They can also help control blood sugar in people with insulin resistance and are high in fiber, making weight management easier. Plus, they are extremely high in vitamin C. Just 150 grams of strawberries provide 150% of your daily vitamin C intake, in addition to being packed with manganese, vitamin K1, and folate. The anti-inflammatory properties of berries also help boost the body’s defense against infection, while decreasing your risk of heart disease and lowering cholesterol. And, of course, we cannot forget that berries reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by sun-damaged skin.
