BLUEBERRIES
BENEFITS Cited regularly
as a 'superfood', not only are
blueberries great for brain
health, but research published
in Free Radical Biology and
Medicine journal in 2008
suggests they can actually
reverse memory loss and have
implications in the treatment
of diseases like Alzheimer's.**
Blueberries are also high in
antioxidants, which can
increase the mind's signalling
capabilities. It's no wonder
leading scientists refer to
them as 'brainberries'!
TRY Blueberries are at their
best when eaten fresh
- sprinkle them over muesli
and yogurt, tuck into a bowl
for a morning snack, or add
them to a salad with grilled
chicken and feta cheese.
