Berries
Some of the most popular, delicious and nutrient-dense foods are berries. They are rich in antioxidants which can help keep free radicals under control. Free radicals are beneficial in small amounts, but could adversely affect your health if their numbers increase. Moreover, berries can help improve blood sugar and insulin response and fight inflammation as well.
“In order for berries to be ripe by the time they get to us, they are often picked in their pre-ripe form and they further lose some of their nutrients during their long travel to your grocery store,” says Cassandra Suarez, a registered dietitian in Boston, Massachusetts.
