The 3 A's of Haskap Berries
We’re all suffering from information overload. To make life easier, here’s a crash course on the advantages of Haskap Berries. Basically, it all boils down to the 3 “A”s:
Anthocyanins
These food compounds give blue, red, and purple fruits and vegetables their deep color.
Haskap berries have significantly more anthocyanins than nearly any other food – 4 times the anthocyanins of blueberries! Why is this such big deal? It’s because anthocyanins provide so many health benefits.
According to the Cleveland Clinic [i], anthocyanins:
- Lower blood pressure
- Reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing cholesterol and inflammation
- Prevent neurological diseases such as dementia
- Slow cancer growth
Antioxidants
As explained by the Harvard School of Public Health [ii], antioxidants prevent cell damage by fighting free radicals.
Free radicals are unstable molecules formed in your body in response to stress. Over time, excessive free radicals damage cells and lead to chronic diseases.
The antioxidants in foods such as haskap berries combat free radical damage and help repair cells. Haskap berries are a powerhouse source, with 3 times the antioxidants of blueberries.
Awesome Taste
Let’s face it – it’s hard to eat healthy if food doesn’t taste good.
Fortunately, haskap berries are absolutely delicious! Their tangy-sweet flavor is bright and refreshing in Haskalife Pure Haskap Berry Juice Shots.
