Eating berries may help prevent age-related memory loss.
Eating berries as a daily part of your diet may help keep your memory sharp. Studies show they boost brain function. Along with their antioxidants effects, berries like blueberries, blackberries, cranberries and strawberries benefit the aging brain in several ways.
First, the antioxidant content in berries help protect the brain cells from damage by harmful free radicals.
Second, berries change the way neurons in the brain communicate with each other. These changes prevent inflammation that can lead to brain cell damage thereby improve movement control and function.
Also, grapes and blueberries have been shown to improve brain function in older adults with mild mental impairment.
Researchers say further study is needed to determine if these beneficial effects on brain function are the result of individual compounds shared by berries or unique combinations of chemicals in each berry fruit.
