9. Berries
Berries of any kind aren’t just beautiful and delicious, they are also high in fiber, vitamins and potassium, which makes them super healthy. Much like cucumbers or cantaloupe, berries can help combat disease such as age-related blindness, heart disease and even cancer. Studies have shown that pterostilbene, a nutrient found in abundance in berries, may help protect your body from colon cancer.
Of course, this should all be taken with a grain of salt – berries and other fruits and vegetables aren’t magical remedies of disease, but eating them regularly in a balanced diet can certainly help reduce risk of such disease. Berries can be easily integrated into your diet in the morning with a bowl of oats or yogurt, in a shake as an afternoon snack, or just have them as they are, any time of day.
