Raspberries


Raspberries are a healthy fruit choice to add to your diet. They can be eating raw or added to cold or hot dishes. One of my favorite chicken dishes includes raspberries. Raspberries are a great source of fiber (4.6 grams per ½ cup) and antioxidants (cancer killers). In fact when compared to other fruits, raspberries rank near the top of the list for antioxidant strength. 1 cup of raspberries contains half of the daily recommended dose of Vitamin C-powerful antioxidant. Vitamin C is needed to help with collagen (body protein) formation and proper function of the nervous system. Raspberries help protect skin from damaging effects of the sun and fade discolorations and age spots. Raspberries promote healing and scar reductions. If you do not like the taste of raspberries, don’t worry you can still incorporate raspberries into your body’s wellness. Add 2 cups crushed raspberries into one cup plain yogurt, apply to skin, leave on for 15 minutes then rinse with water.
