Scientists have found berries have some of the highest antioxidant levels of any fresh fruits (measured as ORAC). Fresh berries are some of the most powerful (and delicious) disease-fighting foods available. Color pigments in berries are powerful antioxidants. Blue, purple, and red colored berries have been associated with a lower risk of certain cancers, urinary tract health, healthy memory function, and healthy aging. Being rich in antioxidants, blackberries also help the body in fighting free radicals and thus, avoid various types of cancer and provide longevity. The high tannin content and the resultant antiseptic properties of blackberries make them good for tightening tissues as well as treating minor bleeding. Their anti-bacterial properties can even help cleanse blood. Consumption of blackberries has been found to be beneficial for those suffering from diarrhea and intestinal inflammation. Blackberries can also be used to treat mild infections such as sore throats mouth irritations, and hemorrhoids. can also be treated with the help of blackberries.
