Blackcurrants are also rich in minerals: iron, calcium and potassium not only strengthen the heart and circulation, but also our immune system and encourage bone growth. Their high vitamin C and E content enables us to concentrate better. And just like blueberries, they also help our bodies to make blood.
Gooseberries contain lots of vitamin C, potassium, calcium, silicon and magnesium, giving us shiny hair and strong nails. The high vitamin C and folic acid content of strawberries makes them particularly good additions to the diet of pregnant women and young mothers. And, last but not least: red wine grapes in particular are high in antioxidants, which prevent arteriosclerosis.
