Description

New research in a nurse's health study (conducted by Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Harvard School of Public Health) found that 70-year-old women who consumed 1-2 servings of strawberries or blueberries per week experienced reduced cognitive loss.[1,2] Strawberries are also the fifth-best source of vitamin C, and they also help regulate your blood sugar. So, many of my afternoons are filled with strawberries. They give me a lift, and they taste delicious.
Berries and your blood sugar
Adding berries to your kefir means you're getting lots of antioxidants and polyphenols, which help fight chronic disease, and they give me tons of energy! They're higher in fiber compared to other fruits, and they're rich in vitamin C. Berries may also help regulate your blood sugar and insulin levels. Human studies suggest that eating berries may protect cells from high blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, and reduce blood sugar and insulin responses to high-carb meals.[3,4]
Berries have huge anti-inflammatory properties
Inflammation is your body's response to infection or injury. However, certain lifestyle choices, such as unhealthy food choices and lack of exercise, can cause inflammation too. Inflammation is believed to be a contributing factor in diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Berries can help reduce inflammation and provide sustained energy throughout the day. Inflammation also affects your blood pressure and heart health.
Blueberries contain antioxidant polyphenols called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins from berries may reduce oxidative stress and enhance the function of arteries, which lowers the risk of heart disease.[5,6]
Simple Reds is a robust blend of red fruit powders rich in antioxidants and polyphenols for a natural energy boost with no added sugar.
Berries Feed Your Bacteria
Berries are loaded with soluble fiber and they feed a very important bacteria, bifidobacterium. This is one of the first bacteria we get when we're born and it helps us digest mother's milk while it builds a strong foundation in the gut. Berries feed this important bacteria, and when you have a lot of bifidobacterium it helps to feed all the other strains too. If you have food allergies, chances are you are low in bifido and other bacteria in your gut. I see this all the time - once you add good bacteria back in with cultured foods, the food allergies disappear. Researchers are finding the same thing.
