Today as a snack, I noshed on some berries. Not only are they fruity and yummy,but they are good for you. They contain what are called phytonutrients. Many of these phytonutrients (such as anthocyanins, quercetin, and ellagic acid) have an antioxidant effect: They counter the natural oxidation in the body that contributes to aging of the tissues and many degenerative illnesses such as cancer, dementia, and damage to the arteries. So eating berries is a win win!
