And why should you listen to me? Because raspberries are an indisputable source of health. Include raspberries in your diet and, in addition to your taste buds, the rest of your body will thank you too. Let's take it one step at a time.
Let's start with
the heart. The heart is one of the main beneficiaries of raspberry consumption. Their flavonoids will help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Their high polyphenol content also rows in favour of this cause, reducing blood pressure and improving blood circulation.
If you want a strong and healthy beating heart (which I'm convinced you do), put raspberries on your shopping list!
Raspberries are an excellent source of vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to our
EYE HEALTH protecting our eyes from ultraviolet light and age-related macular degeneration.
Their fibre content will help you maintain a healthy digestive system, as well as contributing to a lower risk of cardiovascular accidents, hypertension, diabetes or coronary heart disease. Thanks to the consumption of raspberries,
improve your digestion and your intestinal regularity. In our last recipe we combined raspberries with kefir, a food with great benefits for the body and, above all, for the digestive system. But we'll talk about kefir in a little while because it deserves a separate chapter, so let's continue with raspberries!
We have already told you about the flavonoids in raspberries, which not only help our hearts but also
improve our cognitive capacity and our memory. Your brain will fight the passage of time better if you have pampered it with raspberries, that's right.
One of the best selling points of raspberries, and red berries in general, is that they are rich in
antioxidants. Antioxidants are perfect for combating the effects of ageing, but most importantly, they fight free radicals, neutralising them and helping us to
preventing cancer.
As you can see, there are many parts of our body that will enjoy the virtues of raspberries: brain, heart, eyes, digestive system... What are you waiting for to add them to your breakfasts, snacks or lunches?
We suggest that you combine the full potential of raspberries with the superpowers of the
granola La Newyorkina. A perfect match, exquisite for health and palate.
Do you already know all the goodness of raspberries and are you as big a fan as I am? Then I'd love you to leave a comment with your favourite recipe or ideas of how you would combine them with La Newyorkina granola. Here's my suggestion:
raspberries + figs + granola + kefir.
What is yours?
