Health Benefits of Fruit Dessert

If you have enjoyed the recipe for our fruit dessert yesterday, you would be glad to find out about its many health benefits.
Fruiting berries are very good source of antioxidants and vitamins, but blackcurrants, in particular, are spectacular provider of vitamin C.
Vitamin C cannot be stored by the body and therefore a regular, fresh supply is vital, because of this vitamin’s ability to protect against heart disease, strokes and cancer.
Nobel Prize winner, Dr Linus Paulin, who lived into his nineties, was a staunch advocate of large doses of vitamin C. So if you follow his guidance, this fruit should be eaten whenever you can get hold of it.
Not only are blackcurrant rich in vitamin C, they also possess anti- inflammatory and anti-bacterial qualities, which is why they are a traditional remedy for sore throats. They also contain useable amounts of beta-carotene and potassium, as well as being low in salt .
The fatty acids in the oil from blackcurrant seeds have been shown to relieve the pain of rheumatoid arthritis.
It’s just as well blackcurrants are such a spectacularly healthy super food, because the rest of the recipe — white sugar and whole milk yogurt, is not quite as wholesome!
The white sugar is an obvious villain and in some countries — China, for example — milk is never consumed by adults. There is some basis for thinking this sensible, because incidents of both breast cancer and prostate cancer are relatively low in China, compared counties where large amounts of dairy products are consumed. Although this is not entirely definitive, there is some evidence that a diet high in saturated fat (which includes dairy products) contributes to these related forms of cancer, as well as the more obvious heart disease and strokes.
On the other hand, there should be some balance in your diet and there’s no real harm in eating something naughty, once in a while.
You should always remember the story of the man who gave up smoking, drinking and chasing women, because he was determined to live to 100. But if he didn’t smoke, didn’t drink and didn’t chase women, it’s difficult to see why he wanted to live to 100.
