Blueberries Boost Memory

Posted By Dr. Mercola | January 12 2010 | 726 views

Supplemental blueberries for only 12 weeks may boost memory in older people with early memory problems.

A daily drink of blueberry juice was associated with improved learning and word list recall, as well as a suggestion of reduced depressive symptoms.

The study is said to be the first human trial to assess the potential benefits of blueberries on brain function in older adults with increased risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s.
