Berries can be included in all meals, it is just a matter of imagination and will. Reina Campos Caba Meteored Chile 25/09/2023 20:00 6 min
In Canada, the United States, Russia and some European countries, The consumption of berries or red fruits is part of daily eating habits and the global market is estimated to grow by 2% by 2025. Berries are generally consumed as fresh fruits, but many products are also widely available, in which drinks and sweets have grown considerably in recent years.
In this approach, he study “Berry polyphenols and human health: evidence of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, microbiota modulation, and cell-protectind effects”published in Science Directwas proposed as the main objective discuss some relevant topics for new research that might benefit the industry and improve the local economy where the berries are found.
What is the fruit that contains the highest amount of vitamin C in the world?
Therefore, the dissemination of studies already carried out with these strategically important fruits can stimulate new lines of research to consolidate this field and define what is still in demand in the literature on bioactivities, the amount and general recommended consumption pattern of berries in a typical diet.
It is worth mentioning that the geographical origin of a certain species of berry affects the profile and the amount of bioactive compounds synthesized. Environmental factors include soil type, water stress, weather conditions, exposure to sunlight, manure applied, fertilization practices and harvest time.
Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects will surprise you
Fruits such as berries can be an important component of a healthy diet, Due to its high content of phenolic acids and flavonoids, compounds that exert antioxidant activity. For example, within the references of the study it is revealed that supplementation with 30 g of freeze-dried black raspberry for four weeks in smoking men it decreased oxidative stress induced by cigarette smoke.
Phenolic acids They are responsible for giving flavor to foods, while flavonoids They give it its natural color. In addition, berries such as blueberries and chokeberries, effectively reduce blood pressure.
Consumption of cranberry and apple juice for 21 days resulted in a 30% decrease in cholesterol levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and aincreased cholesterol by up to 20% of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). In another reference, they observed that the intake of blueberries (150 g/day) for 6 months in overweight and obese adults raised HDL cholesterol, proposing that it may occur a reduction between 12% and 15% in the risk of cardiovascular diseases with daily consumption of blueberries.
Yes, it is possible! Teach the little ones in the house to consume berries in a more didactic way.
Additionally, regular consumption of blueberries tIt has a powerful activity once morest liver inflammation induced by a high-fat diet and once morest non-alcoholic fatty liver. It has been observed that this berry can reduce the inflamed area by 33% and reduce the size of lipid droplets by 29%.
Evidence supports the ability of berries and their derived products to confer properties that exert favorable anti-inflammatory benefits. However, several questions remain to provide specific dietary recommendations, including optimal dosage, mode of administration, the timing and frequency of intake in different populations.
The contributions of berries to have good digestion
The intestinal microbiota includes bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa and archaebacteria present in the intestinal tract. A diet rich in carbohydrates, fats and proteins of animal origin, Combined with low fiber consumption, it can reduce the presence of beneficial microbiota.
On the other hand, a diet composed of bioactives may promote better health by modulating the beneficial microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract, inhibiting the proliferation of negative bacteria.
Some beneficial effects of consuming berries are related to the more pronounced growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, such as probiotics. Studies have shown an anti-obesity effect, where the consumption of blueberries, black raspberries and cranberries Bifidobacterium count increased, some subspecies of Lactobacillus, which was effective once morest this type of disease.
Finally, the study suggests the requirement of more data to understand mechanisms of action through clinical trials that use different characteristics such as sex, age and preexistence of diseases. In this way it will be possible to reveal new information on the bioactivity of berries. These results and evidence will be the basis for a possible increase in consumption, which may boost primary berry production companies and processors to develop and optimize processes.
