1 / 10 Antioxidants in berries protect cells from free radicals and help counteract aging processes. Since berries are also rich in vitamin C, the nutrient-rich foods support the immune system. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and currants should therefore be on the menu every day. Another advantage: berries are low in sugar and contain only a few calories. They are therefore also ideal for a healthy breakfast or as a snack in between. © hitdelight/Imago
