So Berry Wonderful!

By Kim

The second item on Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen is BERRIES!! One serving a day is recommended – ½ cup fresh or frozen or ¼ cup dried.

Something that tastes amazing AND makes you live longer?! Berry berry wonderful… sign me up! Berries are little powerhouses offering potential protection against cancer, boost the immune system, and protect the liver and the brain. They are packed with up to ten times the amount of antioxidants than other fruits and vegetables (and exceed 50 times more than animal-based foods.) Frozen berries are just as nutritious as fresh ones! They are available year round, tend to be cheaper, and last longer! Stock up on berries and have them on hand to throw into your next smoothie, add to your next dessert, or for just a tasty snack!
