Berries combat oxidative stress

Berries, which are known to pack vitamins A (Beta-Carotene), B complex, C, and E, also reduce inflammation (linked to the cause of all disease) and boost the immune system. Hailed for their antioxidant qualities, these vitamins provide a good line of defense against the effects of oxidative stress. Chronic diseases including certain cancers, diabetes, and heart disease can stem from oxidative stress.

Here is a helpful Berry tip sheet provided by Berkley Wellness.
