According to a report by Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao on the 27th, a US study found that women who eat more blueberries and strawberries can help delay brain aging. Researchers found that women who eat the most berry foods can delay brain aging by up to 2 and a half years, because berry foods can help delay the decline of cognitive abilities in older women.

The findings are particularly important for the growing aging population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans over 65 grew by 15% between 2000 and 2010. So, what are the magical benefits of blueberries and strawberries? Let's take a look:

The magical effects of blueberries

1. Delay brain nerve aging, enhance memory, and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Blueberry compounds can promote the growth of brain cells in the memory reflection area, improve short-term memory, enhance cognitive ability, pass through the blood-brain barrier, improve degenerative Alzheimer's disease, delay and transform aging symptoms, treat Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, and have the magical effect of rejuvenation.

2. Neutralize free radicals, resist oxidation, and enhance human immunity. Free radicals can directly cause more than 100 diseases, including various cancers, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, etc. Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins. The special molecular structure of anthocyanins can stabilize free radicals without forming dangerous substances that can trigger chain reactions. They can also form an antioxidant protective film with collagen to protect cells and tissues from oxidation by free radicals, help absorb and utilize VC and VE, and enhance antioxidant effects.

3. Quickly protect the eyes, with excellent eyesight, and is known as the treasure of eye protection. With age, rhodopsin in the eyes is decomposed, and the VMA (anthocyanin pigment) in blueberry can protect the microvessels of the eyes, improve blood circulation, promote the resynthesis of rhodopsin, improve vision, broaden the field of vision, reduce eye fatigue, enhance night vision, and prevent cataracts. Long-term use can maintain long-lasting vision.

4. Lower cholesterol, protect blood vessels, and enhance heart function. Blueberries contain compounds that can resist fungal infections, lower cholesterol, prevent obesity, enhance vascular resistance, reduce capillary fragility, maintain blood vessel permeability, enhance the function of capillaries, veins, and arteries, improve the circulatory system, enhance skin elasticity, improve varicose veins and edema, inhibit platelet coagulation, prevent thrombosis and arteriosclerosis, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
