Tiny but mighty, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Cranberries
and Blackberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, manganese and
fibre. Tart Cherries help minimize the damage of heart disease, diabetes
and belly fat. Studies show that consumption reduces belly fat and
cholesterol levels. A diet rich in berries may help reduce and prevent
belly fat and cholesterol levels. Studies show that berries can reduce
risk factors for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome, which
causes increased belly fat. Researchers believe the effect comes from
the high level of phytochemicals that berries contain. Berry smoothies
are the most delicious; it’s easy to make these all year round, though,
because you can buy frozen berries. Here are simple and delicious berry
fruit smoothies that reduce belly fat and cholesterol levels.
