If you’re concerned about your diet and health, most people would recommend sticking to fresh fruits and vegetables. There are plenty of other ideas, such as paleo, but when it comes down to it you want to limit the processed in favor of the natural.

But even in the world of natural foods, some stand above the rest. These “superfoods” are known to boost certain aspects of health more than all the others. One such example is blueberries, the small deep blue fruit has demonstrated an incredible array of benefits, from brain health to life extension, as the Life Extension Blog mentions:

In a study examining Alzheimer’s disease, mice supplemented with blueberries performed better in a maze test, indicating an improvement in memory. Another study, conducted in rats, found that blueberries consumed prior to a simulated stroke resulted in less brain damage compared to a control group.

In a study of older adults, twelve weeks of drinking blueberry juice resulted in improved learning and word list recall, accompanied by a trend toward lower glucose levels and a reduction in depressive symptoms.

A long-term study, uncovered an association between increased blueberry intake and a slower rate of cognitive decline among 16,010 participants.

Throwing them on your breakfast each morning will clearly add some oomph to your brain as well as your body. Check out the full post for all the details.
