Benefits

This berry derives its color from anthocyanins (a pigment with high antioxidant activity). It was known to have a lot of health benefits like boosting metabolism, reducing inflammation, helping digestion, regulating blood glucose, and surprisingly it is also said to help reduce eye fatigue and dry eyes. This is a great breakfast if you will be staring at a computer screen for prolonged periods of time. If you work sitting down or have a sedentary lifestyle this is the food for you as it supports cardiovascular health as it helps keep oxidative LDL (low-density lipoprotein) down.
