Eat Your Raspberries

Well I found another great article on Dr. Weil to encourage you to eat right so I wanted to share it with you. Eat your raspberries they are super good for your health. Check out this great bookGuide To Optimum Health

Raspberries are known as an aggregate fruit, meaning that smaller sections with seeds and fruit create a larger whole, raspberries have significant nutritional value - they:

1. Are a good source of vitamin C and fiber.
2. Provide folate, vitamins B2 and B3, magnesium and other essential nutrients.
3. Contain ellagitannins, natural health-protective compounds that appear to have potent anti-cancer activity.
4. Have considerable antioxidant potential (50% more than strawberries).
5. Place in the top 15 of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition's best antioxidant sources.
For an added dose of fiber and antioxidants, top your cereal with raspberries, add some to a salad, use them in sauces and baked goods, or enjoy them on their own. Because commercial strains may be heavily sprayed with pesticides, I recommend buying only organic varieties.

I encourage you eat more fruit and vegetables on a daily basis. On average we do not get enough in our every day diets. So be creative.
