Full of vitamins and sophisticated
flavours, they are natural "fat burners".
LONDON, July 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fragrant, delicious
and jewel-coloured, they are known for their elegant, complex
flavours - and are good for you. Berries are an exquisite
delicacy and, as part of a balanced diet, they can contribute
to general good health and help with weight loss. The information
and promotional campaign "I love fruit & veg from
Europe", co-financed by the
European Union and managed by a group of five agricultural producer
organisations (Terra Orti, A.O.A.,
La Deliziosa, Agritalia and Meridia) invites British consumers to
eat raspberries, blackberries, blueberries,
blackcurrants, wild strawberries and black cherries.
Berries are an obvious choice because they contain
plenty of water and fibre, vitamins, mineral salts and
antioxidants. They also contain polyphenols, which have a
fat-burning effect. Whether eaten fresh, in preserves or juices,
they make a perfect snack for those on a diet:
berries are low in calories but highly nutritious and they can give
a sense of fullness; they can also help to control cholesterol.
Furthermore, they are easily absorbed and have diuretic, purifying
and laxative properties - thanks to their organic acids, sugars and
pectin - essential in maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract
and the adjoining glands (the liver). They are also
recommended as part of the diet for children because
they can help to improve memory function.
Cranberries can help to prevent and combat urinary
tract infections. Cranberry extract can relieve
associated burning sensations and discomfort. The virtues of
berries really are endless. They are a good source of folic acid,
which is essential during pregnancy to promote healthy growth and
development in babies. Blueberries can help to lower blood
pressure: a bowl a day can protect the heart and help lower blood
pressure in women during menopause. Raspberries can
counteract inflammation, especially joint inflammation, due to
their purifying and diuretic effects. Blackcurrant-based
drinks, on the other hand, are recommended at times of extreme
fatigue and physical overload, like after sustained and strenuous
exercise, because they can aid recovery.
