Published in Al-Ahram Weekly on 18 - 04 - 2019

Preventing cancer: Golden berries deliver a potent dose of polyphenols and carotenoids among other antioxidants. These powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents can fight and neutralise the free radicals that damage cells and can lead to degenerative diseases. They can also slow down or even reverse the spread of cancerous cells throughout the body, according to a paper published in the US Cancer Letters Journal.
Helping weight loss: As a low-calorie food, these tiny fruits help to keep your weight loss goals on track. Harankash deliver a large percentage of your daily nutrients, without contributing any negative fats or calories to your overall intake.
Boosting the immune system: Vitamins A and C found in golden berries can increase your immune system to help you ward off illness and enhance the functions of each system in your body.
Reducing stress: The withanolide content in haranksh is one of their most amazing qualities that can reduce feelings of anxiety and irritability. As a naturally-occurring adaptogen, withanolide helps your body adapt to stress by improving the health of your adrenal system. Over time, adaptogens have been linked to better emotional well-being.
Controlling diabetes: Golden berries are an effective preventive method and treatment for type II diabetes. While blood sugar fluctuations are the main cause of diabetes and can be dangerous for people suffering from this condition, some of the compounds found in these fruits can slow the breakdown and intake of simple sugars from carbohydrates. Thus, the body and bloodstream are not flooded with sugar, and the insulin receptors are properly regulated.
Fighting inflammation: Inflammation is a common cause of many ailments, including muscle stiffness, fatigue, bronchitis, asthma, eczema, swollen joints, and headaches. Harankash are rich in antioxidants that can help in reducing inflammation. They can soothe these conditions and improve overall health. They can also effectively lower blood pressure and improve heart health by lowering the inflammation of the arteries and preventing the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.
Detoxifying the body: Golden berries are powerful detoxifiers, and their healthy nutritional profile with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourishes the liver and kidneys. These play a critical role in flushing toxins out of the body.
Improving vision: Due to the high carotenoid content found in harankash, these berries are often recommended for boosting the health of the eyes. Carotenoids eliminate oxidative stress on the ocular system, preventing the development of cataracts and slowing the onset of macular degeneration, keeping your vision in top working order as you age.
