Signature Tune

According to the American Academy of Neurology, eating fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants -- such as berries, oranges, spinach, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes -- can reduce the risk of stroke by 11%.

Another study has shown that antioxidants and polyphenols in blueberries, cranberries and grapes can help improve the ability of brain cells to communicate with each other, and lessen the brain's susceptibility to injury.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, elements such as curcumin and B vitamins such as niacin and folic acid may also help prevent memory loss, and may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

That's great Lester, but how about adding some berries as well.

Oh yes katyzzz, I eat and love strawberries, and blueberries, where I live during late spring early summer I can have all the blackberries I can eat, and sometimes we even can some.
