4 Best Bang for the Buck Fruits

Hi {NAME}, Fruit has more than just sugar and some "vitamins" in it. But a lot of the fruits out there don't provide too much of a nutritional punch, especially when you're looking at antioxidant content and the effects that they have on free radicals in the body. 1) Blueberries: Anthocyanins make this fruit the most bang for the buck. The literature is starting to show that this powerful flavanoid has the ability to restore cognitive function and also to PROTECT the brain from cognitive decline. But another [study]( demonstrated that even in the short term and in HEALTHY, younger people, blueberries have the ability to improve cognitive performance inside of 60 mins! This is because of the insane benefit of blueberries to neutralize free radicals in the body (and brain). Plus they're so low carb, it's tremendous! 2) Pomegranates: You don't need much in the way of this fruit, maybe 1/4 cup per week to get the potential longevity benefit. It has to do with something called Urolithin-A and it's starting to look like this compound in pomegranates could be one of the most powerful things to help with mitochondrial biogenesis as well as mitophagy (autophagy and recycling of the mitochondria). So in essence, as you get older and your mitochondria becomes less efficient at creating energy, this Urolithin-A could help restore some of these effects. Hard part, only about 40% of people have the microbiome composition to create Urolithin-A from eating pomegranates. There is a company called Timeline Nutrition that has [Urolithin-A in a supplement form]( that becomes bioavailable for all. They have a patent called MitoPure which is the bioavailable form of this Urolithin-A.

I'm not a fan of pill-popping, so this is much more food grade. 3) Raspberries: Raspberries are hugely beneficial when it comes down to carb metabolism. I've mentioned this before in videos, but the tannins in raspberries actually have a net positive effect on blood glucose. The tannins inhibit enzymes that break down carbs, so therefore this slows down the absorption of carbs when you combine raspberries with say things like Rice, bread, starches, etc. For example, I get a crazy high glucose spike when I have rice, but when I have raspberries on the side, it brings my glucose spike down by about 40%! Definitely a super berry for metabolic reasons. 4) Guava: This is a tropical fruit you probably did not expect to see here. A little bit higher in carbs, so something I would only eat surrounding a workout or activity (generally), but the amount of lycopene and carotene make it a powerful antioxidant machine, especially when it comes down to heart health and eye sight. It's higher glycemic, but the glycemic load is not that high. Meaning, you won't do a lot of damage if you eat 1/2 cup or so. It only starts to stack up after 20-30g of carbs worth. So where does the benefit of antioxidants and flavanoids outweigh the sugar? I'd say about 20-30g per day worth of carbs from any of these fruits. Of course that allows you to get much more volume with fruits like blueberries as 30g of carbs of blueberries is a LOT of volume and will certainly satisfy your fruit fix for the day with little damage and HUGE upside. As far as longevity and mitochondrial benefit, pomegranate takes the cake, but [MitoPure]( is a pretty nice way to get the benefits without the carb impact, so I recommend that route rather than copious amounts of pomegranate (for a 40% chance that you'll even metabolize the active Urolithin-A to begin with - [here's the link for 10% off with code THOMAS]( Hope this gives you some yummy fruits to enjoy for the weekend (in moderation, of course).
