Summer Fruits for Long-Term Brain Health

Linked to the prevention of many lifestyle-related illnesses (heart disease, cancer, even alzheimers,) flavonoids may offer the most brain protection as a regular part of your every-day long-term diet. The best place to get them? Fresh fruits! Some of the most potent of which are in-season.. right now!

Blueberries - Who hasn’t heard that “blueberries can help improve memory?” Mix them into your morning oats or smoothie, or sprinkle a handful over your salad for a sweet and juicy treat.

Cherries - Keep a big bowl washed and ready to go on the counter for a delicious snack- try pairing with a handful of almonds for a snack after yoga practice.

Grapes - You don’t have to drink wine to get protective flavonoids working for you. Keep sweet purple grapes in the freezer and you’ve got a delicious frozen dessert, or a flavorful way to chill a glass of water.
