BLACKBERRY ADVANTAGES TO THE BODY

 


1:High in manganese

You don’t hear as much about manganese as other minerals, but it’s good to healthy bone development and a healthy immune system. It also helps your body metabolize carbs, amino acids, and cholesterol. Like vitamin C, manganese plays a key role in the formation of collagen. The enzyme that helps manganese form collagen, prolidase, also helps wounds heal properly.

2:Helps in loosing weight.

Blackberries are rich in antioxidants like catechins, which give them the natural ability to help activate fat-burning genes in belly-fat cells. They’re also full of polyphenols – chemical compounds that may hinder fat from forming. Just a cupful of blueberries packs 8 grams of fiber and more than a quarter of your daily needs for vitamins C and K. Vitamin K is essential for bone health and blood clot formation

3:May boost brain health

Eating berry fruits like blackberries may improve brain health and help stop memory loss caused by aging, according to  research in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The review concluded that antioxidants in berry fruits help fight free radicals and alter how brain neurons communicate. This helps reduce brain inflammation, which can lead to cognitive and motor issues common with aging.

4:Good for the heart and reduces the chance of high blood pressure 


 Eating blackberries on a regular basis is good for cardiovascular health. Their fiber and antioxidant content both can be credited for reasons why, especially the polyphenols in blackberries, which are a specific type of antioxidants that benefit the body by fighting against harmful agents like ultraviolet rays, radiation, and some pathogens. Scientists found that when people upped their blackberry consumption, they had less oxidative stress and lower inflammation than they did before—especially for people who had a history of high blood pressure.

5:Maintain the immune system

“Blackberries have vitamin C, which absolutely helps with the immune system,” Smith says. “Just one cup of blackberries contains 30 milligrams of vitamin C, which is half the daily recommended value.” Chicken noodle soup may be your immunity booster in cold weather, but blackberries can be your warm-weather fix.

 6: For bones rigidity 

Blackberries are definitely an overlooked bone health food, but because they contain vitamin K—28.5 micrograms per cup, aka 31 percent of your recommended daily intake—Smith says they do, in fact, directly benefit your bones. “Vitamin K is essential for bone health,” she says. “Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that makes proteins for healthy bones and normal blood clotting. A deficiency in this vitamin would lead to bone thinning, bone fractures, easy bruising, heavy menstrual bleeding, and blood in the stool or in the urine.” Bet you definitely want to uptake your blackberry intake after hearing that.


7:Prevents blood from clotting

 Blackberries are high in vitamin K which enhances normal clotting of blood and promotes healthy blood and circulation. Vitamin K is also useful for protein modification and plays an important role in protecting bones from osteoporosis.


8:Prevents Cancer

Blackberry fruit’s antioxidant properties are helpful in preventing lung cancer, colon cancer and esophageal cancer. They have micronutrients that apply chemopreventive effect and prevent the spread of cancerous cells. Scientists have attributed the anti-cancer activity to the prevalence of anthocyanins and other phytochemicals such as ellagic acid and cyaniding-3-glucoside.
