Antioxidant superfruit key to healthy cognitive aging |
(NC)—In the first study of its kind released early this year, researchers demonstrated that anthocyanin-rich wild blueberries are highly beneficial in maintaining memory function. The study, conducted by a team led by Dr. Robert Krikorian, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, University of Cincinnati, confirmed that wild blueberry-enriched diets improve memory function in older adults with early memory decline. The findings contribute to a growing body of research supporting the protective effects of wild blueberries and suggest that wild blueberry consumption may slow or reduce the loss of cognitive function and decrease depression in the elderly. Information on the health studies is available online at wildblueberries.com.
