In today’s ever changing and superfast pace of living we tend to forget basic principles of what makes us human.. Happy humans..

I too was a victim of this; somehow as I began to feel that this was not all we were here on this earth for – to rush all the time, be selfish and unkind, to count things instead of moments and blessings, to be greedy and unsatisfied – I started my journey back to the basics. And it saved it me. After all, the quality of your life is dependent and in fact shaped by the quality of your thoughts and emotions.

Here are a few traits I now cherish and practice every day:

I’m all for ‘graceful aging’, ‘my wrinkles mean I’ve lived and laughed’, ‘mature look’, ‘my wrinkles give my face a character’. Having said that, I also appreciate that we are what we eat and what we eat soon enough catches up with us. So, why not take care of our health and skin?

Berrylicious!!!

Berries are among the healthiest foods you can eat.

They are delicious, nutritious and provide a number of impressive health benefits.

Here are a few good reasons to include berries in your diet.

1. Berries Are Loaded With Antioxidants

Berries contain antioxidants, which help keep free radicals under control.

It’s important to have a small amount of free radicals in your body to help defend against bacteria and viruses

One study showed that blueberries, blackberries and raspberries have the highest antioxidant activity of commonly consumed fruits.

2. Berries May Help Improve Blood Sugar and Insulin Response

Berries may improve your blood sugar and insulin levels.

3. Berries Are High in Fiber

Berries are a good source of fiber, including soluble fiber. Studies have shown that consuming soluble fiber slows down the movement of food through your digestive tract, leading to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness.

This may decrease your calorie intake and make weight management easier.

What’s more, fiber helps reduce the number of calories you absorb from mixed meals.

4. Berries Provide Many Nutrients

Berries are low in calories and extremely nutritious. In addition to being high in antioxidants, they also contain several vitamins and minerals.

Berries, especially strawberries, are high in vitamin C.

With the exception of vitamin C, all berries are fairly similar in terms of their vitamin and mineral contents.

5. The Antioxidants in Them Help Fight Inflammation

 

Berries have strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Inflammation is your body’s way of mounting a defense against infection or injury.

6. Berries May Be Good for Your Skin

In addition to their many other health benefits, berries may help reduce skin wrinkling.

This makes sense, given that the antioxidants in berries help control free radicals, one of the leading causes of skin damage that contributes to aging

Ways to use berries:

Smoothies, Chia puddings, Porridge, Sweets, as a snack, as toppings over granola, yoghurt!
