Raspberries are not only delicious but also nutritional offering lots of health benefits. According to the Department of Agriculture,  one 100-gram portion of raspberries provides 23 milligrams of vitamin C, which is approximately 30% of the minimum daily target for vitamin C for women. They also contain manganese, iron, copper, calcium, potassium and vitamin K, which play roles in promoting various body functions and overall health. Whether frozen or fresh, you should add these beautiful berries to your diet to enjoy their benefits. Here are some of the health benefits of raspberries.

Raspberries can counter oxidative stress in the brain due to their antioxidant properties. Oxidative stress is normally caused by a variety of issues including obesity, smoking cigarettes, alcohol consumption and exposure to radiation. This can disrupt the normal functions of the brain and lead to mental illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, and depression. It’s important to maintain an antioxidant-rich diet to keep your brain in good condition. 7 Daily Practices That Boost Brain Health

Though we’re not all born with good eyesight, there are ways to ensure that your eyesight doesn’t deteriorate. Eliminating unhealthy foods and eating certain healthy foods plays a key role in having good eyesight. Raspberries are one of the best foods for good eyesight.

  1. Prevents Cancer

Raspberries have a high content of ellagic acid, also found in strawberries, tea, coffee, and walnuts, called a tannin. According to research, this substance acts as an antioxidant, scavenging and neutralizing cancer-causing free radicals. Tannin also has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body which suppresses the growth of tumours.

  1. Relieves Arthritis

Arthritis is a painful disease to live with and unfortunately, many people develop arthritis as they age due to the wear and tear of the joint’s cartilage. However, rheumatoid arthritis is caused by inflammation when the body’s immune system begins attacking the joint capsule. To prevent developing arthritis or reduce its effect, you should include anti-inflammatory foods like raspberries in your diet. The polyphenols in raspberries protect your cartilage and reduce the symptom of arthritis. They also block an enzyme called COX-2 that is responsible for causing pain and inflammation. Health: Foods That Are Good For Arthritis
