Endocrinologist names the colors of the healthiest berries
The doctor said that the healthiest berries can be determined by their color.
Berries and fruits contain a large amount of antioxidants. These substances suppress processes that lead to diseases and premature aging.
Endocrinologist Marina Berkovskaya noted that blue and purple berries contain the most antioxidants, Moscow 24 reports. The doctor cited blueberries, chokeberries, currants, and grapes as examples.
The doctor added that antioxidants are found in apples and citrus fruits (orange, tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, pomelo). Legumes, nuts and seeds are rich in these substances.
If we consider other options, the doctor advised adding onions, garlic, spices to the dishes: ginger, turmeric, pepper.
Berkovskaya noted that it is better to eat the fruits fresh. In this form, they retain more useful properties. The endocrinologist pointed out that antioxidants can be destroyed under the influence of light, heat and oxygen.
