Berries For Weight Control?
Posted By admin on July 22, 2009
As if I needed another reason to love the berries of Summer. Not only are they loaded with anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant, according to new research from Japan these mighty antioxidants may alter the activity of genes found in human-fat cells. In a completely separate study, mice fed anthocyanins (poor rodents didn’t get to eat the actual berries) while eating a typically weight-inducing, hight-fat diet didn’t gain weight. Researches surmised it was the berry-derived antioxidant.
I need no reductive reason to eat berries, but I find this research fascinating. Berries are a great part of any healthy diet since they are naturally sweet, low in calories, and high in both fiber and water. So berries, whatever their intense color – blue, black, red, or pink a – help keep you feeling full and satisfied.
