Blueberry Brains

If, by now, you don’t have blueberries on the brain, you should.

This food has been dubbed a “Superfood”, and for good reason. Not only is it delicious, not only is it righteous in a pie, and stellar in yogurt, but it can also slow and even reverse the age related brain drain that creeps up on you over time (Now See Here).

One thought is that their anthocyanins and flavanols can cross the blood brain barrier after you eat them. Once in your central nervous system, they exert their effects on learning and memory by boosting neuronal connections, cellular communications, and brain cell re-growth.

Sometimes, I eat blueberries, on their own, for dessert. They freeze very well, too. Just put them in a freezer-safe container or bag, and pull them out whenever you need a few!!
