 1. Source of Antioxidants
Antioxidants help lessen the damage caused by free radicals and the entire
mulberry plant- leaves, stems, and fruit, contains antioxidants. One
antioxidant in particular, resveratrol, has gotten much attention. Research
published by the University of Texas Health Science Center credits
resveratrol for positive effects on age and longevity.

2. Immune System Support

Mulberries contain alkaloids that activate macrophages. Macrophages are
white blood cells that stimulate the immune system, putting it on high active
alert against health threats.

3. Supports Healthy Blood Sugar

More formal research is appropriate, but mulberry is thought to contain
compounds that support balanced blood sugar levels.Traditional medicine
in China, Trinidad and Tobago have all used mulberry leaves to promote
balanced blood sugar levels.

4. Healthy Food!
Dried mulberries are a great source of protein, vitamin C and K, fiber, and
iron. Best of all, theyre available in health food stores everywhere! Enjoy
them as a great snack all by themselves or add them to your favorite trail
mix. If you live in a warm climate and are lucky enough to have mulberry
trees nearby, you can enjoy the fruit fresh off the tree. Not as tasty as the
fruit, even the leaves contain protein, fiber, and nutrients!

5. Resists Redness
Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine have used mulberry as a
remedy for swelling and redness.A recent Romanian study discovered that
a curcumin and mulberry leaf combination may be a new lead into natural
remedies for this sort of irritation.

6. Brain Protection?
Do mulberries offer anything to the brain? Researchers at Khon Kaen
University in Thailand set out to answer that question by evaluating the
effect of mulberry on male rats with memory impairment and brain damage.
Although further investigation is required before mulberries can be
declared a cognitive enhancer and neuroprotectant, rats that consumed
mulberries had better memories and less oxidative stress.
