Blueberries May Reverse Memory Loss
Published December 3rd, 2008
Researchers at the University of Reading, found in tests, that adding blueberries to peoples diet consistently improved their memory.
They say flavonoid rich foods trigger the part of the brain which is responsible for memory and learning – meaning diets rich in fresh fruits may increase your memory capacity.
Dr Jeremy Spencer, from the department of food biosciences at the university, said: “Scientists have known of the potential health benefits of diets rich in fresh fruits for a long time.
“Our research provides scientific evidence to show that blueberries are good for you and supports the idea that a diet-based approach could potentially be used to increase memory capacity.
“We will be taking these findings to the next level by investigating the effects of diets rich in flavonoids on individuals suffering from cognitive impairment and possibly Alzheimer’s disease.”
The research has been published in the Free Radical Biology and Medicine journal.
