Lingonberries contain a unique combination of antioxidant compounds.

They are enriched with vitamins E and C, anthocyanins, and flavonoids, all considered valuable antioxidants.

Researchers believe the above substances to protect cells from oxidative stress and free radicals, suppress chronic inflammation, and prevent the progression of the most dangerous cardiovascular and endocrine system diseases, along with malignant tumors.

3. Weight loss facilitation

Not only are lingonberries a low-calorie product but they also have several therapeutic properties that promote weight loss. The studies led by Swedish scientists have shown that once included in the diet, lingonberries produce a pronounced weight loss effect. This effect comes from the body metabolizing fatty tissue into energy. Apart from that, lingonberries also influence the intestinal microflora. By increasing the number of beneficial microorganisms, it normalizes the digestive system and contributes to more efficient digestion of nutrients, thus preventing their excessive absorption. Polish experts also discovered the berries’ ability to inhibit the enzymes responsible for the decomposition and absorption of fats from the intestinal lumen.

4. Atherosclerosis prevention

Among other things, lingonberries are an important source of fiber and polyphenols, the presence of which in the diet has been linked to a low incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

Animal studies show that lingonberries normalize the lipid profile and therefore prevent atherosclerotic damage to arterial walls, providing reliable prevention of such disorders like coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, and chronic cerebral ischemia.

According to Swedish scientists, regularly consumed lingonberries, even with an excess of fat (up to 20% of the daily diet), caused a 30% reduction in blood cholesterol concentration after a 3-month period.

SUMMARY

Lingonberries lower cholesterol levels and prevent atherosclerosis-related pathologies.
