Elderberries are chock-full of antioxidants, which are essential for fighting off disease-causing free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and lead to inflammation. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and prevent them from causing harm. In addition to their high antioxidant content, elderberries are also rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as flavonoids and anthocyanins.
Vitamin C is especially important for boosting immunity. This essential vitamin helps the body create white blood cells, which are responsible for attacking viruses and bacteria. Vitamin E is another important nutrient for immunity; it helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Flavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties, while anthocyanins improve blood circulation and fight off infection.
In short, there are many good reasons to start your day with an elderberry smoothie! Not only is it delicious, but it’s also packed with nutrients that will help keep you healthy all winter long. Cheers to that!
