Break out the blueberries – to remember.
Swapping out the usual OJ for blueberry juice in the morning may give your brain a memory boost. A new study shows that drinking a daily dose of wild blueberry juice improved the memory of older adults with age-related memory problems. It’s the first study to show a potential benefit of blueberries in improving memory in older adults at risk for dementia. “The findings of this preliminary study suggest that moderate-term blueberry supplementation can confer neurocognitive benefit,” write researcher Robert Krikorian, of the University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center, and colleagues in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. – From WebMD
