Raspberries are full of powerful antioxidants that fight inflammation and are a great source of fiber. Your heart and your gut will thank you!
Nutritional Benefits:
Bananas are an excellent source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, fiber, riboflavin (B2), magnesium, biotin, carbohydrates and especially potassium. Potassium is one of the most important electrolytes in the body, helping it to regulate heart function as well as fluid balance- a key factor in regulating blood pressure. Bananas are also beneficial to the GI tract due to their high content of pectin, a soluble fibre that not only lowers cholesterol but regulates bowel function.
Raspberries contribute several valuable essential nutrients, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative effects. They provide one of the highest amounts of dietary fiber at 8g per cup. Raspberries are an excellent low-calorie, nutrient-dense fruit, filled with manganese, vitamin C, flavonoids, and polyphenols. Consuming these polyphenol packed fruit boosts digestion and brain health, as well as protect against heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even certain cancers.
