Nutrient Information:

Blueberries are one of the best foods you can eat for your brain! They have one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants that come from flavonoids, which is a type of polyphenol. Polyphenols are abundant in plants and are excellent for reducing inflammation.

The flavonoids in blueberries have been shown to enhance neuron signalling in the memory centre of the brain and protect against cognitive decline.

*Note: conventionally grown berries are sprayed with chemicals and pesticides that can harm our brain and gut microbiome. Always try to purchase berries locally and organically, as their skin cannot be easily washed. If you cannot find organic, try cleaning with a vegetable was first or buy them frozen.
