Blueberries
The blueberry is a fascinating fruit. It is an antioxidant powerhouse. They have an ability to help keep our cell disintegrating over time and throughout the ageing process.

Miracle Berry
The miracle berry is a fruit that is grown in native Western Africa. While you can eat them fresh, they have a short shelf life so often taken as a supplement in tablet form.
These berries can aid you on a weight loss journey. Not because they have that ability, but they can help you reduce your sugar intake. The secret behind this berry is that they can make sour tasting items taste sweet. Allowing you to get that taste element without the need of eating something sugary.
There are many fruits that have a sour taste that is incredibly good for you, but you can be put off by the taste. Studies have also shown that cancer patients taking miracle berry tablets notice their taste level improve. This is because a common side effect of chemotherapy is the loss of taste.
Goji Berries

Again something like this can be eaten fresh, or you may find them in a tablet form. There are even studies to suggest that increasing your intake of goji berries daily can help you respond better to treatment. Especially for things like Cancer.
It’s amazing that some fruits like berries that we can take for granted can have such a positive impact on our lives.
