When is a calorie more than just a calorie? When it comes in a berry. Satisfy your sweet tooth; researchers found that people who snacked on 65 calories of complex carbohydrates found in cherries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries instead of simple carbohydrates found in candy ate 134 fewer calories at their next meal than those who munched on 65 calories of candy.

Another group of researchers farther found that berries and cherries possibly prevent age related memory lost; they are particularly rich sources of natural antioxidants and are the first line of defense to suppress the formation of free radicals.
