Berries May Reduce Mortality (NEW Study!)
🫐🍓I’ve always loved berries, but this new research study cinches it!
Looking at a national sample of adults in the US, the research compared berry consumption with mortality rates over 8 years.
The results?
👉 People who were considered “berry consumers” had a 21% lower risk of all-cause mortality than “non-berry consumers.”
