ARONIA BERRIES /ALSO KNOWN AS CHOKEBERRIES ARE CALLED NATURE’S HEALER AND PROTECTOR MAINLY FOR THE FOLLOWING TOP 10 REASONS:
1. ANTIOXIDANT SOURCE
Aronia berries have the highest concentration of antioxidants present in any fruit. Why is this so important? Antioxidants protect the body’s cells from the damaging effects of oxidation. And because aronia is rich in antioxidants, it has a very high ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity – a measure of an antioxidant’s power to neutralize free radicals) – almost 80 units, the highest amongst fruits.
In the United States, the Aronia berry was tested by the Department of Agriculture in November of 2007. A public comparison was published showing that Aronia was tested and compared to 276 other edible items that can be found in the USA and is ranked № 1 antioxidant.
2. URINARY TRACT HEALTH

3. IMPROVE BLOOD CIRCULATION AND STRENGTHENS BLOOD VESSELS

4. BALANCE OF BLOOD PRESSURE LEVELS

5. PREVENTION AND HELP IN TREATMENT OF DIABETES
There have been a number of studies analyzing how aronia berries affect people with diabetes. One of them concluded that consumption of the “super berries” would not increase blood sugar levels and it can even lower them. Aronia can be very beneficial for people who want to prevent diabetes and it can also help people manage diabetes – associated conditions. Another study (Simeonov et al, 2002) conducted at the Medical University in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, found that aronia juice without sugar added (artificially sweetened) was “a valuable adjunct” to treating patients with diabetes. An animal modeled study in 2007 (Valcheva-Kuzmanova S et al), conducted by the Department of Preclinical Pharmacology and Biochemistry, Medical University, Varna, Bulgaria was conducted on diabetic rats. The outcome showed that the use of Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice might be useful in the prevention and control of diabetes and in the complications of diabetes.
6. “GASTRO PROTECTIVE” EFFECT

7. ANTI-CARCINOGENIC EFFECT

“Anthocyanin-Rich Extracts Inhibit Multiple Biomarkers of Colon Cancer in Rats” looks at the benefits of the aronia berry as well as other berries in the help of eliminating colon cancer.
