Blueberries
Blueberries are essential to maintaining a healthy brain function. They contain high levels of anthocyanins, a group of plant compounds that possess both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Antioxidants offer protection against oxidative stress and inflammation, conditions that may cause neurodegenerative diseases and brain aging. Blueberries also contain certain types of antioxidants that are highly concentrated in the brain and help improve communication between brain cells.
Studies show that blueberries help boost memory and cognitive ability in children and adults. You can add them to your diet by sprinkling them over your breakfast cereal, or add them to a smoothie.
