Strawberries, blueberries and
raspberries are antioxidant powerhouses. Mixed berries are used in this
easy-to-make and healthy desserts for their cancer-fighting health
benefits. All berries are brimming with the vitamins and antioxidants
that help fight against disease such as cancer and also protect against
premature ageing. The health-boosting antioxidant phytonutrients in
raspberries, strawberries and blueberries include ellagic acid, which
may help to prevent the growth of cancerous cells, and a group of
flavonoids called anthocyanidins, which have antimicrobial properties
and can prevent the overgrowth of certain fungi and bacteria in the
body.
