Eating Mulberries Helps

Lower Cholesterol

Mulberries help in improving and maintain the ratio between the LDL (bad) and HDL (Good) cholesterol. Studies have shown that mulbberries being rich in fibre reduce excess fat and lower cholesterol levels. High Levels of cholesterol can increase our risk of heart diseases.

Besides maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, mulberries will also  help to reduce the formation of fat in the liver, potentially helping the liver from fatty liver disease.

Promote Heart Health

Mulberries contain resveratrol, a flavonoid antioxidant that protects against stroke risk by changing the molecular mechanism in the blood vessels. This compound also reduces the susceptibility of the blood vessels to any damage by decreasing the activity of a hormone that causes blood vessel constriction.

Resveratrol also helps in increasing the production of the vasodilator, which in turns maintain the health of blood vessels and reduces the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.

Regulates Blood Sugar Level

People who have diabetes are more prone to rapid changes in their blood sugar levels and need to be careful about the type of food they are indulging in. Mulberries, on the other hand, are one of the fruits that people with diabetes can relish.

Due to the presence of a compound called as DNJ in mulberriess, they help inhibit an enzyme in the gut that breaks down carbohydrates and in turn slows down the increase in blood sugar after meals.

Good Source of Vitamins A, C and E

Mulberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C, A and E, which are powerful antioxidants. Vitamin C helps the body against infectious agents and prevents inflammation and harmful free radicals.
Vitamin A and E also help in protecting the body against the harmful effect of free-radicals that are involved in ageing and various disease processes.

Build Bone Health

Mulberries contain Vitamin K, calcium and iron and other minerals like magnesium and phosphorus.
These minerals are beneficial for the formation and maintenance of bone tissue. Calcium helps in maintaining bone density.
With age, our bones become brittle and more prone to fracture. So as to prevent the damage process and prevent conditions like osteoporosis, add calcium-rich mulberries into your diet.
