"Berries" are not only low in fat and calories, but also rich in nutrients. They are recognized as "super fruits".
Common berries include blueberries, cranberries, red raspberries, black raspberries, mulberries, strawberries, etc. These fruits are not only rich in multiple vitamins, but also rich in antioxidants, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins and tannins, which are beneficial to the health of the skin, cardiovascular system, urinary system and nervous system.
What are the benefits of berry extract?
1. Blueberries contain anthocyanins, a nutrient with the highest content among berry fruits, which can enhance night vision and prevent night blindness.
A Japanese biomedical doctor once said in a paper: Medical clinical reports show that anthocyanins in blueberries can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent myopia, and improve vision.
2. Blackberries are both medicinal and edible. They are not only fruits, but also can be used as medicine, because each individual blackberry contains 20-50 drupe seeds rich in juice, which are "aggregate fruits".
These seeds contain unsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, both of which are essential fats for the human body. These two ingredients are beneficial to the brain, heart, and metabolism, and can also provide the energy needed by the body.
The vitamin C content of blackberries is more than 10 times that of blueberries, and it contains more than 40 nutrients, including highly effective antioxidant active substances such as proanthocyanidins, SOD, selenium, ellagic acid and flavonoids, 20 amino acids and trace elements.
3. Cranberries are rich in vitamin C and popular antioxidant ingredients proanthocyanidins, as well as bioflavonoids, which are excellent anti-free radical substances.
Studies have shown that the most critical ingredient in cranberries is type A proanthocyanidins (PACs).
Daily intake of more than 36 mg of PACs can inhibit bacteria (including E. coli) from adhering to urethral epithelial cells, can help prevent inflammation of the fallopian tube system and improve urinary system health problems, and can also effectively inhibit Helicobacter pylori in the stomach and intestines.
4. Raspberries are a healthy weight loss food recommended by many people, and are often used by some weight loss experts to eat with yogurt. This is because the main aromatic substance in raspberries is raspberry ketones.
Its molecular structure is very similar to that of capsaicin, which has the function of losing weight and changing lipid metabolism, but its effect is three times that of capsaicin. It can directly act on fat cells, accelerate the decomposition and burning of fat and generate energy, while inhibiting the intestinal absorption of lipids, thus effectively controlling weight and preventing obesity.
