March commemorates Women’s Month. That’s why we want to tell you in this article about the importance of women’s health and how certain foods can contribute to your overall well-being. In this regard, berries stand out as a particularly favorable option for women’s health, offering a wide range of benefits that span from skincare to urinary system health.

At Bayas del Sur, we work with maquiberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and other berries known for being rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that are essential for optimal human body function. Consuming berries is part of self-care. In that sense, taking care of what we eat, how we nourish ourselves naturally results in health, as well as well-being and beauty.

Many industries have realized these benefits and have incorporated our berries as the basis of their products in industries as varied as culinary, beverages, and even nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements.

Here we present some reasons why consuming berries can be beneficial, especially for women:

Skin care: Berries contain antioxidants such as vitamin C and polyphenols, which help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and promote collagen production, contributing to firmer, more youthful skin.

Urinary system health: Blueberries, in particular, are known for their properties in promoting urinary system health. They contain compounds such as proanthocyanidins that help prevent urinary infections by preventing bacteria from adhering to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract.

Boosting the immune system: Berries are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is essential for strengthening the immune system and helping the body fight infections and diseases.

Improving cardiovascular health: The antioxidants present in berries, such as flavonoids, can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by improving blood vessel health and reducing inflammation.

It is important to note that, to get the maximum benefit from berries, it is recommended to consume a variety of them regularly, whether fresh, frozen, in tablet form, or as juices. At Bayas del Sur, we provide various formats that can be tailored to a wide variety of applications, ranging from food to even cosmetics.
