Blackberry Medicinal Magic

Last night I decided to make a treat from my childhood, blackberry tdumplings. They were amazing!!! Yes I'm toot-tooting my own horn. Why you might ask?

Well they were delicious but also somewhat nutritious. It has fresh blackberries at least and did you know they are good for you. I mean I'm sure you did, but here's why... Blackberries are packed full of vitamins, like C & K. They help you to maintain that healthy exterior by providing skin regeneration and collagen production, blood clotting, and absorbing iron. They also contain manganese; which helps your body metabolize carbs and cholesterol. In addition, your body uses manganese in the prevention of osteoporosis, healing wounds, and aids in maintaining healthy blood sugars levels (I'm looking at you my diabetic loves ).

Well blackberries are great at feeding that brain. The antioxidants help to fight free radicals which helps brain neurons communicate affectively. That's a fancy way of saying, blackberries are a super food for your brain and they help fight off inflammation to encourage healthy cognitive skills later in life.

Furthermore, blackberries are chock full of fiber and antioxidants. So go get your healthy poop on and fight off all those seasonal colds/allergies with some blackberries. Yum!
