Get a Blueberry Boost
"Brainberries" is what Steven Pratt, MD, author of "Superfoods Rx: Fourteen Foods Proven to Change Your Life" calls these tasty fruits. Researchers have found that blueberries help protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the effects of age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
Blueberries have twice the number of antioxidants that spinach has, and it is also rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that is effective in lowering cholesterol. Fresh blueberries are higher in vitamins A and C than frozen or canned. Many provinces in China now grow blueberries commercially, especially in the northeast.
