Research indicates that strawberries and blueberries may aid in preventing our brains from declining so rapidly as we age. Since these foods are rich in antioxidents, they may be good to eat to keep our brains sharp.
Eating Fabulous, a blog by Ruth Schaffer, gives more information about this topic today. Ruth also refers to an article on this topic in The Neurobiology of Aging. Her blog post is, Strawberries for Your Aging Brain at http://www.eatingfabulous.com/strawberries-for-your-aging-brain/ .
Since I like both of these berries, and eat many of them in season, I won’t have any trouble indulging in what apparently is good for me.
I’ve been going through the BlogHer blogroll on health and fitness and found your site. I’m very interested in preventing the clinical signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia. I look forward to reading more.
Hello Sheryl,
I’m pleased you discovered my site and find it of interest. You also may find more on the Alzheimer’s Association site (www.alz.org) about the latest research in possible prevention of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Hi Sheryle,
Sorry I left the last “e” off your name in the above message. I write to someone else whose name is spelled like yours without the “e.” Slip of my fingers.
