Elevated levels of oxidative stress in urine, often a sign of an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, can contribute to various health issues such as inflammation, oxidative damage, and weakened immune function.
Therefore, it is crucial to combat oxidative stress to maintain overall health and well-being.
One effective way to achieve this is by incorporating antioxidant-rich foods and drinks into our diets.
The Mixed Berry Infused Water recipe involves steeping a blend of berries in water to create a refreshing and hydrating beverage, providing a simple yet delicious means of increasing antioxidant intake and promoting urinary health.
Recipe Benefits
- Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Eating strawberries also helps reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system, and promote urinary health by neutralizing excess free radicals.
- Blueberries contain anthocyanins, flavonoids, and other antioxidants, giving them their bright color and health-promoting qualities. These antioxidants have been shown to reduce oxidative stress, improve cognitive function, and support cardiovascular health. Adding blueberries to infused water provides a burst of flavor and antioxidant protection.
- Raspberries are a fantastic source of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants like ellagic acid and quercetin. These antioxidants help fight oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and promote urinary tract health. Adding raspberries to infused water increases its antioxidant content and adds natural sweetness.
- Blackberries contain high levels of vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese, as well as potent antioxidants like anthocyanins and polyphenols. These antioxidants are vital in reducing oxidative stress, protecting against chronic diseases, and promoting overall health and well-being. Incorporating blackberries into infused water provides additional antioxidant benefits and a rich, fruity flavor.
