Blueberries are the fruits with the highest antioxidant content, followed by cranberries, blackberries and strawberries. The color of berries comes from anthocyanins, and antioxidants can neutralize free radicals. This free radical can lead to chronic diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. Berries, especially cranberries, can also prevent urinary tract infections.

It is beneficial to eat a cup of berries every day. You can eat it as a snack, on yogurt, or with muffins, salads or smoothies.
