Blueberries are brain food.It has a reputation as memory-protecting food.They actually help neurons in the brain communicate with one another more effectively.
Blueberries contain compounds like antho-cyanin that are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.Inflammation and oxidative stress are involved virtually every major killer disease:Alzheimer’s,Parkinson’s,Diabetes,Heart Disease and Arthritis.Blueberries are the ultimate memory food,they keep your memory sharp.Memory goes down,and the processing necessary for coordination and balance will tend to decline.The technical term for this communication is “signaling”,and special compounds in blueberries called polyphenols actually turn on the signals.Not only can you get one neuron to talk to another more efficiently,but you can actually enable the brain to grow new neurons.Animal studies have demonstrated that daily consumption of blueberries dramatically slows impairments in motor coordination and memory.They may help lower blood cholesterol and promote urinary health.
Blueberries are the highest scoring fruit of all time.There are all those antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds,which help fight against cardiovascular disease.
