“Blueberries restore many functions of the body and counteract aging,” says neuroscientist James A. Joseph (James A. Joseph) from Tufts University (USA). He added this berry to his diet, noting a significant improvement in motor function and memory in elderly rats who received blueberry extract during the experiment. It turned out that the level of antioxidants in its fruits is so high that they easily neutralize free radicals, and therefore slow down the aging of neurons. Half a cup of blueberries a day (quick-frozen berries are also good) can normalize blood sugar levels, strengthen collagen (a connective tissue substance that gives elasticity to ligaments, skin and tendons), prevent thrombosis, heart attacks and strokes.
