General Health Benefits of Berries
Anti-Cancer Properties
The antioxidants in berries can protect against cancer in a number of ways: they prevent inflammation, inhibit DNA damage, induce cancer cell death and prevent cancerous cells from spreading. Research indicates that berries can play a role in a few specific types of cancer including colon cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Brain Health
Eating berries is good for your brain. In a 25-year observational study of over 16,000 women, researchers found that a higher intake of blueberries was linked to a lower risk of cognitive decline. Other evidence has shown that berries can help prevent brain aging, enhance brain signalling and neuroplasticity, improve our memory, and protect against neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Anti-Inflammatory Actions
Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for a number of painful and debilitating diseases such as obesity, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, diabetes and more. Research about the anthocyanins in berries shows that they can help modulate inflammatory pathways in the body, leading to reduced inflammation.
Cardiovascular Health
Evidence indicates that the antioxidants in berries can improve cardiovascular health by reducing total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, blood pressure and triglycerides, as well as lower your risk of metabolic syndrome, making berries a great choice for your heart.
Vision and Eye Health
Key nutrients in berries such as Vitamin C help to lower the risk of age-related eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, while the anthocyanins boost retinal health, and help us maintain good vision.
Key Phytonutrients in Berries
Berries are fantastic sources of:
Antioxidants
Berries contain an enormous range of antioxidants that help prevent free radical damage and reduce inflammation. Some of the notable antioxidants found in berries include a class of compounds called anthocyanins, which are responsible for the deep, vibrant berry colours.
Vitamin C
Also an antioxidant, Vitamin C helps us boost immunity, produce collagen, reduce our allergic response, and supports the adrenal and thyroid glands.
Manganese
This mineral helps with blood sugar control, helps our bones and joints develop and grow, and is a cofactor in an enzyme called superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the major antioxidant enzymes in our bodies.
Copper
This mineral plays a role in energy production, helps Vitamin C produce collagen and bone, and is a also cofactor in the production of superoxide dismutase (SOD).
Fibre
Fibre is essential to blood sugar balance, maintaining a healthy weight, lowering cholesterol levels and supporting digestive health (regular bowel movements, supporting healthy gut bacteria, etc.).
Black Cherry
Cherries are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, fibre, and other nutrients that your body needs to function optimally.
Black cherries are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
This high antioxidant content may help combat oxidative stress, a condition that is linked to multiple chronic diseases and premature aging.
In fact, one review found that eating cherries effectively reduced inflammation in 11 out of 16 studies and markers of oxidative stress in 8 out of 10 studies.
Cherries are especially high in polyphenols, a large group of plant chemicals that help fight cellular damage, reduce inflammation, and promote overall health.
In fact, polyphenol-rich diets may protect against many chronic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, mental decline, and certain cancers.
These stone fruits also contain carotenoid pigments like beta-carotene and vitamin C, both of which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well. Cherries are packed with potassium and polyphenol antioxidants, which have powerful heart-protective properties.
Due to their potent anti-inflammatory effects, cherries may reduce symptoms of arthritis and gout.
Many studies show that cherries help inhibit oxidative stress and decrease inflammation by suppressing inflammatory proteins, which can help reduce symptoms related to arthritis.
Plus, they can decrease uric acid levels in your body, making them especially beneficial for those with gout.
Cherries contain anti-inflammatory compounds and melatonin, which may help improve sleep quality in some people.
