Their benefits run anywhere from helping us look younger to protecting us from life-threatening diseases. Recent studies have even shown their potential as memory antioxidants, substances that can help reverse memory loss.
So what exactly are we talking about here? Why, of course, what else but blue berries and berry juice? Blue berries and berry juice are such amazing fruits with countless health benefits tied to them. In fact, about the only beneficial thing they can’t seem to do is fixing that leaky faucet and some scientist is probably looking into that right about now. Indeed, the benefits of blue berries and berry juice are truly astounding and as small as they are, they are currently making big waves in the scientific circle.
Blue berries and berry juice are rich in memory antioxidants which are found to reverse memory loss. Not only that, blue berries, being one of the top memory antioxidant rich foods, are said to help prevent such degenerative diseases as cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, heart disease, aging, and a whole lot more.
The trick lies in the blue berries and berry juice’s memory antioxidant action. Memory antioxidants specifically act on highly reactive substances found in the blood stream called free radicals which have been linked to the onset of various illnesses. Free radicals can destroy the DNA in a cell’s nucleus which could disrupt the cell’s normal functioning, leading it to multiply in abnormal proportions, forming tumors which would eventually turn into cancer. By acting specifically on these harmful free radicals as well repairing the damages they cause, memory antioxidants effectively reduce the risk of cancer-forming cells.
Blue berries and berry juice have countless health-boosting properties that have scientists amazed and baffled at the same time. How can such small fruits contain so much health benefits? Blue berries and berry juice are rich sources of vitamins A and C. What’s more, they’re also low in calories, making the perfect companion to every meal.
“The media have taken to calling them ‘brain berries’ and ‘youth berries’,” writes Dr. Steven Pratt in his book, SuperFoods RX – Fourteen Foods that Will Change Your Life. It appears that just one serving of blue berries and berry juice provides you with as many memory antioxidants as five servings of carrots, apples, broccoli, or squash.
In fact, 2/3 cup of blue berries and berry juice gives you the same memory antioxidant protection as 1,733 IU (internal units) of vitamin E and more protection than 1,200 milligrams of vitamin C. To be sure, blue berries and berry juice are the perfect example of the perfect memory antioxidant your body needs.
