Consumption of berries keeps the brain young

Scientists have found in a study that eating berries keeps the brain young.

Berries protect the brain against the aging process and prevent memory loss, say researchers.

Researchers have found that strawberries, raspberries and blackberries contain large amounts of compounds called polyphenols that help the brain perform its basic functions.

The two-month study in mice also shows that eating fruits with bright orange or red and blue pigments can restore brain power.

The good news is that the natural polyphenolic compounds in fruits, vegetables and nuts actually have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that prevent aging-induced brain damage.
