Blueberries for a Long Term Memory

Mental decline whether your 15, 40 sometimes, or most of the time - stock up our sharp senses. And protecting our quick-witted memory is one way to jog it up.

And eating blueberries is one way to boost up our mental sense for a long term memory.

Antioxidants in blueberries help protect the brain from free-radical damage and cut your risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. They can also improve cognitive processing (translation: thinking). Wild blueberries, if you can find them, have even more brain-boosting antioxidants than the cultivated variety.

If your favorite berries are out of season, buy them frozen. The freezer locks in peak flavor and nutrients, so the berries’ antioxidant capacity is maxed out. Those pale, tough, and expensive off-season berries usually ripen on a truck, rather than on the bush, so they’re nutritional imposters compared to the real thing.
