fruityy cocktaill .. healthyy?





you woudlnt think that a little fruityy cocktail would be healty now would you ? ..
Scientists were doing research on trying to keep strawberries fresh while being stored. While trying to find ways to do this they tryed using alcohol, and found out that using this it puts more nutrience in the fruits. The ethanol in some alcohol such as Rum, Vodka, Tequilla and any spirts raised the antioxident nutrients in blackberries,strawberrries and any other type of colourful fruits.

All colored fruits are rich in antioxidants, ("chemicals that can cancel out the cell-damaging effects of compounds called free radicals.")
Berries also contain compounds known as polyphenols and anthocyanins. And people who consume this have lower chance of cancer, diseases and some neurological diseases.
so drinking a fruity cocktail yummmy drink isnt JUST for fun anymore.. its accaully good for you! : )
