Mackenzie Burgess, a nutritionist in Denver, Colorado, USA, wrote an article in the lifestyle health magazine - Parade, recommending that juicy and colorful fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cranberries... have many benefits for people over 60 years old.
As we age, our health becomes more important so adding berries to our diet is a good idea.
Berries contain phytochemicals, which are plant compounds that have antioxidant properties and may protect the human body from inflammation. Inflammation is a contributor to aging and many chronic diseases.
Additionally, berries are rich in antioxidants that help protect brain cells from damage and improve memory performance.
Berry juice can also help lower blood pressure and maintain intestinal health. Berries are rich in fiber, which can promote digestive function and prevent constipation. A high-fiber diet can also improve brain function.
