Can You Name 10 Berries?<br />
These nutritious powerhouses are bright, flavourful and full of health benefits.<br />
Sprinkle them in your breakfast yoghurt, have a berry tart or opt for dinner<br />
smoothie. Berries are high in antioxidants, keep you mentally sharp, packed with<br />
fibre and may even help reduce heart attack risks. But, can you name 10 of them?<br />
Strawberry<br />
Perhaps the mother of all berries and the most famous among<br />
its siblings. There are over 600 varieties of strawberries so you<br />
do not have to look high or low for one. Strawberries are packed<br />
with vitamin C. It is also an excellent source of folate, high in<br />
antioxidant phyto-nutrients known as phenols, contain compounds<br />
that help widen arteries which may prevent plaque buildup and<br />
even whiten your teeth naturally. Plenty of studies have been<br />
conducted into learning more about this berry and it has shown<br />
that the berry is capable of reducing macular degeneration of<br />
the eyes, protects against breast and colon cancer, decreases<br />
inflammation and helps control type 2 diabetes.<br />
Raspberry<br />
A recommended intake for vitamin C and manganese, these<br />
berries are also rich in fibre. Raspberries are also low in fat and<br />
have high levels of polyphenols which helps reduce the risk of<br />
getting a heart disease. It also helps prevent brain damage and<br />
memory loss associated with ageing. A study found that flavonoidrich<br />
berries reduce cognitive decline and its antioxidant properties<br />
work in synergy to prevent age-related memory loss.<br />
