English speaking room

Hello, girls! You're sure to remember our talk about eating by colours as far as you asked me to continue it. This is what I'm going to do now.

Fruits: deeply coloured berries, such as blueberries, blackcurrants and blackberries are rich saurces of special antioxidant phenols, called anthocyanins, which have anti-aging effects and may help to prevent hunger, diabetes and heart desease. They may also help reduce your risk of cancer and Alzheimer's. You can find similar antioxidants in purple-skinned plums, black cherries and purple grapes. Most dark berries are also high in vitamin C, a vitamin with a strong anto-oxidant action. Dried forms of fruit, such as prunes (dried plums) and raisins (dried purple grapes) have even higher levels of antioxidants, but no vitamin C.
