Raspberries are one of our favorite low carb fruits to consume on the keto diet, and for good reason, too.

So, what are the benefits of adding raspberries to your diet?

  1. Help maintain healthy weight loss
  2. Boost cardiac health
  3. Help manage and prevent diabetes
  4. Help improve arthritis
  5. Have anti-aging properties

#1 Help Maintain Healthy Weight Loss

The phytonutrients in raspberries can help increase your metabolism. Studies have even shown that the accumulation of fat can be reduced and could possibly decrease the size of fat cells. [*]

#2 Boost Cardiac Health

Studies have found that the anthocyanin in raspberries provides anti-inflammatory benefits that help the heart. [*] These anthocyanins make raspberries one of the most efficient fruits in helping blood flow due to their ability to release nitric oxide. [*]

#3 Help Prevent Diabetes

Did you know that foods with a low-glycemic index actually help to stabilize blood sugar levels? Raspberries rank as a three in glycemic load, making it a high-fiber fruit that could potentially help prevent diabetes.

#4 Help Improve Arthritis

The anti-inflammatory properties found in raspberries make them a significant fighter of arthritis and other chronic diseases caused by inflammation. One study showed that the polyphenols, anthocyanins and ellagitannins found in raspberries provided anti-inflammatory properties that protected the cartilage from patients with arthritis. [*]

#5 Anti-Aging Properties

Raspberries are extremely high in vitamin C and antioxidants (carotenoids and quercetin in particular) which are known for fighting free radical damage. Vitamin C is found in abundant amounts in the layers of our skin but as we age, our levels of vitamin C decrease, leading to damaged skin cells.

  1. Sara, I question the Buzzy Raspberry Lemonade. I know from past experience that raspberries in any form, although delicious, still raise my blood sugar. Yes it would be perfect before exercise. Is that when you are ONLY recommending it?
    Thank you for your informative/delicious blog.

    1. Hey Lori, if you know that raspberries spike your blood sugar than I would definitely only recommend it pre-workout for you or maybe avoid it all together. Different foods affect people differently so it just depends.
