4. Blueberries
These little berries are blue dynamite. Their main benefits for the brain are how they help boost short-term memory but they are brilliant for health on so many fronts. The short-term memory and improved memory benefits from blueberries were discovered thanks to a study run by Tufts University. This is because they contain a hugely beneficial protective compound called anthocyanins. Of course, thanks to their natural glucose and sucrose content, they’re a tasty compound for the tongue, too!
Stressed? Then you need to eat more blueberries too. The gallic acid they contain by the gallon protects the brain from declining and insulate it from the bad effects of anxiety and stress. Blueberries are also hard to beat on the antioxidant front. This is thanks to their high levels of vitamin C, vitamin K and also fiber. No wonder in supplement form they’re often called bullets in a bottle because they have a way to fire up cognitive ability which leads to better task focus.
