Although not quite as popular as other fruits such as blueberries and strawberries, blackberries have a ton to offer when it comes to our nutrition and overall health. In fact, blackberries have been used for many generations for their incredible health benefits and therapeutic abilities. They are also easy to add to almost any diet. You can simply eat them raw, use them for healthy baking recipes or add them to your favourite smoothies. Now, lets discuss some of the amazing health benefits of eating blackberries regularly.

1. First, blackberries are a nutritional powerhouse and are loaded with an incredible amount of important vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. They are very nutrient dense, which means you do not need to eat many to get their nutritional benefits. Blackberries are a great source of potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and B-vitamins. They are also great sources of dietary fibre and are high in antioxidant compounds.

2. Blackberries can also help to boost our immune system and prevent certain types of diseases due to their incredibly high amount of antioxidant compounds. These powerful and potent antioxidants can help to protect use from unwanted free radicals and diseases. Blackberries contain antioxidants such as anthocyanosides, phenolic acids and flavonoids that can reduce inflammation and disease causing oxidative stress and damage.

3. Consuming blackberries is also great for improving our digestion. They are especially rich in both insoluble and soluble fibre, which work together to help our digestive system function optimally and more efficiently. These great levels of fibre found in blackberries add bulk and encourages water absorption in the large intestine. This has the added benefit of relieving constipation, promoting regular bowel movements and promoting the health of our digestive system.

4. They are also heart healthy due to their wide range of nutrients and can help to prevent heart disease. Blackberries are an excellent source of heart-healthy nutrients such as potassium, magnesium and fibre. These nutrients can help to improve circulation, reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and even help to regulate proper blood pressure.

5. Lastly, consuming blackberries regularly can help to improve our overall vision and maintain the health of our eyes, especially as we get older. This is often attributed to the presence of lutein which blackberries contain. Lutein can help to prevent damage to the eyes caused by oxidative stress. As well, the high number of antioxidant compounds, vitamins and minerals can help to prevent eye-related diseases, such as macular degeneration and cataracts.
