RASPBERRY

Foods high in vitamin C, such as Raspberry, have been shown to help keep eyes healthy by providing protection against UV light damage.

Raspberry also contain the antioxidant zeaxanthin, which filters out harmful blue light rays and is thought to play a protective role in eye health and possibly ward off damage from macular degeneration.

An intake of raspberry has also been shown to decrease the risk of, and progression of, age-related macular degeneration.

The fibre and water content in Raspberry help to prevent constipation and maintain a healthy digestive tract. Adequate fibre promotes regularity, which is crucial for the daily excretion of toxins through the bile and stool.

Raspberry contain powerful antioxidants that work against free radicals, inhibiting tumour growth and decreasing inflammation in the body. Those same potent polyphenols that protect against heart disease also help ward off or slow many types of cancer, including oesophageal, lung, mouth, pharynx, endometrial, pancreatic, prostate, and colon.

Raspberry contain strong antioxidants such as Vitamin C, quercetin and Gallic acid that fight against cancer, heart and circulatory disease and age-related decline. They are high in ellagic acid, a known chemo preventative, and have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Red raspberry ketones are currently being used in Japan as a weight loss supplement.
