BRAINIACS AND BERRIES

Would you like to sharpen up your thinking skills? I think many of us would. The answer could be as simple as adding berries regularly to your diet. Recently, a major analysis of 59 different clinical trials, found that eating blueberries and blackberries regularly significantly improved memory, attention, and processing speed. The reason is the anthocyanins, pigments that give the berries their pretty color and also ease neuroinflammation and boost blood flow to the brain. The findings showed that eating 1/2 cup of the berries a day is enough to make a difference. Of course, the longer you stick with that regimen, the greater the benefits. There are several ways to make sure you are getting the berries in your diet. Of course you could just eat them. You could also start making it a habit to add them to muffins, breads, pancakes, salads, etc. Why not give it a try and eat or snack like a brainiac.
