"Berries are good for the brain. Research has shown that blueberries can help to protect the brain against oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which play important roles in brain aging," explains Dr. Pratt. Studies have demonstrated that a diet rich in anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agents found in blueberries (as well as cranberries, strawberries, purple grapes and raspberries) may lower the risk of developing age-related neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. To get the full benefits eat one to two cups of blueberries on a daily basis.
