Do berries do more for your health?
The web is saturated with information regarding nutrition and its influence on health and the quality of life for each of us. By choice, we are committed to producing organic, genuine, and high-quality fruit, which, for these very characteristics, is certainly healthy.
However, we have sought scientifically valid evidence to support these common-sense considerations and to identify the real benefits of fruit and, in particular, the products we offer you.
We thus found in the foundation created by Umberto Veronesi an authoritative source of up-to-date information on the subject in the form of scientific and popular articles.
We have made a brief summary of it, provided with links to explore the subject directly.
Health benefits of berries
It has been proven that fruit and vegetables, if consumed fresh, are beneficial for their supply of polyphenols capable of stimulating powerful antioxidant reactions in the human body and thus slowing down the aging of cells.
The antioxidants contained in blueberries and raspberries are anthocyanins, water-soluble pigments found in plants and responsible for the different colors of fruit and vegetables. Dr. Caterina Fazion, biologist nutritionist and freelance journalist specialized in nutrition, has summarized and updated the knowledge on the subject in the following article for Fondazione Umberto Veronesi: https://www.fondazioneveronesi.it/magazine/articoli/alimentazione/quali-sono-i-benefici-del-mirtillo
By registering on the foundation's website, it is also possible to download the manual "Anthocyanins: from the plant world, allies of health" prepared by the foundation's scientific committee. In 40 pages, it delves into all topics related to a healthy and balanced natural diet.
