Why you should eat more: Recent studies have suggested they may help protect against heart disease, cancer (especially colon and ovarian ) and age related diseases such as Alzheimer's. In general, the darker the berry, the more health benefits, so load up on blackberries and elderberries, too.
How to up your intake: Fresh berries can be expensive but frozen will work just fine, especially in a smoothie or stirred into yogurt. Processing, however, strips them of many nutrients, so that blueberry muffin doesn't count!
